Psalms 142

1 A maskil of David, while he was in the cave, a prayer. Loudly I cry to the Lord: to the Lord plead loudly for mercy,

Iyasugko ti timekko kenni Yahweh; iti napigsa a timek agpakaasiak kenni Yahweh.

2 I pour my complaint before him, I tell my troubles to him.

Agdung-awak iti sangoananna; ibagak kenkuana dagiti pakariribukak.

3 When my spirit is faint within me, my path is known to you. In the way I am wont to walk in, they have hidden a trap for me.

No agkapoy ti espirituk iti kaunggak, ammom ti dalanko. Iti dalan a pagnaak, nangilemmengda iti pakaipalab-ogak.

4 I look to the right and the left; but not a friend have I. No place of refuge is left me, not a man to care for me.

Kumitaak iti makannawanko ket nakitak nga awan ti mangikankano kaniak. Awan ti mangsalaknib kaniak; awan ti mangikankano iti biagko.

5 So I cry to you, O Lord: I say, ‘My refuge are you, all I have in the land of the living.’

Immawagak kenka, O Yahweh; Kinunak, “Sika ti kamangko, ti kasapulak iti daga dagiti sibibiag.

6 Attend to my piercing cry, for very weak am I. Save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

Dumngegka iti asugko, ta naibabaak unayen; ispalennak kadagiti mangparparigat kaniak, gapu ta napigpigsada ngem siak.

7 Free me from prison, that I may give thanks to your name, for the righteous are patiently waiting till you show your bounty to me.

Irruarmo ti kararuak manipud iti pagbaludan tapno makapagyamanak ti naganmo. Maummong iti aglawlawko dagiti nalinteg gapu ta nagsayaatka kaniak.”
