Psalm 142
New International Version

Psalm 142[a]

A maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave.(A) A prayer.

1 I cry aloud(B) to the Lord;
    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.(C)
2 I pour out before him my complaint;(D)
    before him I tell my trouble.(E)

3 When my spirit grows faint(F) within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;(G)
    no one cares(H) for my life.

5 I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,(I)
    my portion(J) in the land of the living.”(K)

6 Listen to my cry,(L)
    for I am in desperate need;(M)
rescue me(N) from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong(O) for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,(P)
    that I may praise your name.(Q)
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.(R)

Prière dans la détresse

142 Cantique de David. Lorsqu’il était dans la caverne. Prière.

2 De ma voix je crie à l’Eternel,
De ma voix j’implore l’Eternel.
3 Je répands ma plainte devant lui,
Je lui raconte ma détresse.
4 Quand mon esprit est abattu au-dedans de moi,
Toi, tu connais mon sentier.
Sur la route où je marche
Ils m’ont tendu un piège.
5 Jette les yeux à droite, et regarde!
Personne ne me reconnaît,
Tout refuge est perdu pour moi,
Nul ne prend souci de mon âme.
6 Eternel! c’est à toi que je crie.
Je dis: Tu es mon refuge,
Mon partage sur la terre des vivants.
7 Sois attentif à mes cris!
Car je suis bien malheureux.
Délivre-moi de ceux qui me poursuivent!
Car ils sont plus forts que moi.

Psalm 142
King James Version

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

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

3 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.

4 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.

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

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

7 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.
