身受艰苦求主眷顾

142 大卫在洞里作的训诲诗,乃是祈祷。

我发声哀告耶和华,发声恳求耶和华。
我在他面前吐露我的苦情,陈说我的患难。
我的灵在我里面发昏的时候,你知道我的道路。在我行的路上,敌人为我暗设网罗。
求你向我右边观看,因为没有人认识我;我无处避难,也没有人眷顾我。
耶和华啊,我曾向你哀求,我说:“你是我的避难所,在活人之地你是我的福分。”
求你侧耳听我的呼求,因我落到极卑之地;求你救我脱离逼迫我的人,因为他们比我强盛。
求你领我出离被囚之地,我好称赞你的名。义人必环绕我,因为你是用厚恩待我。

142 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

A Plea for Relief from Persecutors

A (A)Contemplation[a] of David. A Prayer (B)when he was in the cave.

142 I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.

When my spirit [b]was (C)overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly (D)set a snare for me.
Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
[c]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may (E)praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
