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.
Psalm 142
International Children’s Bible
A Prayer for Safety
A maskil of David when he was in the cave. A prayer.
142 I cry out to the Lord.
    I pray to the Lord for mercy.
2 I pour out my problems to him.
    I tell him my troubles.
3 When I am afraid,
    you, Lord, know the way out.
In the path where I walk,
    a trap is hidden for me.
4 Look around me and see.
    No one cares about me.
I have no place of safety.
    No one cares if I live.
5 Lord, I cry out to you.
    I say, “You are my protection.
    You are all I want in this life.”
6 Listen to my cry
    because I am helpless.
Save me from those who are chasing me.
    They are too strong for me.
7 Free me from my prison.
    Then I will praise your name.
Then the good people will surround me
    because you have taken care of me.

诗篇 142
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
大卫在洞里作的训诲诗,是一篇祈祷。
求主眷顾
142 我出声哀告耶和华,
    出声恳求耶和华。
2 我在他面前倾诉我的苦情,
    在他面前陈说我的患难。
3 我的灵在我里面发昏的时候,
    你知道我的道路。
在我所行的路上,
    人为我暗设罗网。
4 求你留意向我右边观看,
    无人认识我;
我无避难之处,
    也无人眷顾我。
5 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。”
6 求你留心听我的呼求,
    因我落到极卑微之地;
求你救我脱离迫害我的人,
    因为他们比我强盛。
7 求你从被囚之地领我出来,
    我好颂扬你的名。
义人必环绕我,
    因为你用厚恩待我。
