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.

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.”

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.

You Are My Refuge

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

142 With my voice I (B)cry out to the Lord;
    with my voice I (C)plead for mercy to the Lord.
I (D)pour out my complaint before him;
    I tell my trouble before him.

When my spirit (E)faints within me,
    you know my way!
In the path where I walk
    they have (F)hidden a trap for me.
(G)Look to the (H)right and see:
    (I)there is none who takes notice of me;
(J)no refuge remains to me;
    no one cares for my soul.

I cry to you, O Lord;
    I say, “You are my (K)refuge,
    my (L)portion in (M)the land of the living.”
(N)Attend to my cry,
    for (O)I am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
    (P)for they are too strong for me!
(Q)Bring me out of prison,
    that I may give thanks to your name!
The righteous will surround me,
    for you will (R)deal bountifully with me.
