Psalms 142

1 Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock. The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

我高聲向上主呼求， 我高聲向天主求助。

2 I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

我向他傾吐我的愁苦，我向他陳訴我的憂慮。

3 When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

當我精神愁苦的時候，惟有您知悉我的路途。在我行走的道路途中；他們給我設下陷阱。

4 Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

我向右觀察細看，沒有一個熟悉我的人！沒有一人我可投奔，沒有一人為我操心。

5 I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

上主，我今呼號說：你是我的避難所，在這活人的地方，你就是我的福爵。

6 Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

求您傾聽我的哀號，因我十分可憐無靠，求您救我脫離迫害我的人，因他們是比我強悍的人。

7 Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.

求您引領我出離監牢，好讓我讚美您的名號。義人前呼後擁歡迎我，因為您大量恩待了我。
