Psalm 142

¹Een gedicht van David, om iets van te leren. Hij maakte het toen hij in de grot was.^[a] Een gebed.

²Heer, ik roep luid tot U.
Smekend roep ik tot U.
³Ik stort mijn hart bij U uit.
Ik vertel U al mijn moeilijkheden.
⁴Ik ben wanhopig, maar U weet wat ik moet doen.
Overal waar ik ga, hebben mijn vijanden vallen voor me opgezet.
⁵Ik zoek hulp, maar niemand komt me helpen.
Ik kan nergens heen.
Niemand wil me beschermen.
⁶Ik roep tot U, Heer:
"U bent mijn schuilplaats. Bij U ben ik veilig.
U bent alles voor mij in dit leven.”
⁷Luister naar mij, Heer, want ik ben wanhopig.
Red me van de mensen die me achtervolgen,
want ze zijn sterker dan ik.
⁸Ik kan geen kant meer op! Red me!
Dan zal ik U prijzen,
samen met de mensen die leven zoals U het wil,
omdat U goed voor me bent geweest.

Tehillim 142

Orthodox Jewish Bible

142 (Mashkil of Dovid; A tefillah when he was in the me’arah) I cried out unto Hashem with my voice; with my voice unto Hashem did I make my techinnah (supplication).

²⁽³⁾I poured out my complaint before Him; I showed before Him my tzoros.

³⁽⁴⁾When my ruach became faint within me, then Thou had da’as of my path. In the way wherein I walked have they laid a pach (snare, hidden trap) for me.

⁴⁽⁵⁾I looked on my right, and behold, there was no man that would know me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my nefesh.

⁵⁽⁶⁾I cried unto Thee, Hashem; I said, Thou art my refuge and my chelek (portion) in the Eretz HaChayyim.

⁶⁽⁷⁾Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; save me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

⁷⁽⁸⁾Release my nefesh from prison, to praise Shemecha (Thy Name); the tzaddikim shall gather about me; for Thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Then the righteous will gather about me
