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.

在困苦中呼求 神拯救

大衛的訓誨詩,是在山洞時作的,是一篇禱告。

142 我大聲向耶和華呼求,

高聲向耶和華懇求。

我在他面前傾吐我的苦情,

在他面前陳述我的患難。

我的靈在我裡面軟弱的時候,

你知道我的道路。

在我所行的路上,

敵人暗設網羅陷害我。

求你向我右邊觀看,

沒有人關心我;

我沒有逃難的地方,

也沒有人照顧我。

耶和華啊!

我向你呼求;

我說:“你是我的避難所,

是我在活人之地的業分。

求你留心聽我的呼求,

因為我落到極卑微的地步;

求你救我脫離逼迫我的人,

因為他們比我強大。

求你把我從牢獄中領出來,

好讓我稱讚你的名;

義人必環繞著我,

因為你以厚恩待我。”

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.
