142 Ako'y dumadaing ng aking tinig sa Panginoon; ako'y namamanhik ng aking tinig sa Panginoon.

Aking ibinubugso ang daing ko sa harap niya; aking ipinakilala sa harap niya ang kabagabagan ko.

Nang nanglupaypay ang diwa ko sa loob ko, nalaman mo ang aking landas. Sa daan na aking nilalakaran ay pinagkukublihan nila ako ng silo.

Tumingin ka sa aking kanan, at tingnan mo: sapagka't walang tao na nakakakilala sa akin: kanlungan ay kulang ako; walang taong lumilingap sa aking kaluluwa.

Ako'y dumaing sa iyo, Oh Panginoon; aking sinabi: Ikaw ay aking kanlungan, aking bahagi sa lupain ng may buhay.

Pakinggan mo ang aking daing; sapagka't ako'y totoong nababa: iligtas mo ako sa nagsisiusig sa akin; sapagka't sila'y malakas kay sa akin.

Ilabas mo ang aking kaluluwa sa bilangguan, upang ako'y makapagpasalamat sa iyong pangalan: kubkubin ako ng matuwid; sapagka't ikaw ay gagawang may kagandahang-loob sa akin.

Psalm 142

A Cry of Distress

A Davidic Maskil. When he was in the cave.(A) A prayer.

I cry aloud to the Lord;(B)
I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy.(C)
I pour out my complaint before Him;
I reveal my trouble to Him.(D)
Although my spirit is weak within me,
You know my way.(E)

Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me.(F)
Look to the right and see:[a]
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
no one cares about me.(G)

I cry to You, Lord;
I say, “You are my shelter,
my portion in the land of the living.”(H)
Listen to my cry,
for I am very weak.(I)
Rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.(J)
Free me from prison
so that I can praise Your name.
The righteous will gather around me
because You deal generously with me.(K)

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.”
