Psalms 142

1 A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy.

[Psalm lal David ke el muta in luf sac] Nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD Elan kasreyu; Aok, nga kwafe nu sel.

2 I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me.

Nga use mwe torkaskas luk nukewa nu yorol, Nga fahkak ongoiya nukewa luk nu sel.

3 When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me.

Ke nga apkuran in fuhleak, El etu lah mea fal nga in oru. Ke inkanek su nga fahsr kac Mwet lokoalok luk elos okanla mwe kwasrip in sruokyuwi.

4 I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all.

Ke nga ngetnget nu siskuk, Nga liye tuh wanginna mwet in kasreyu. Wangin mwet in karinginyu, Wanginna mwet nunku keik.

5 I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life.

LEUM GOD, nga pang nu sum tuh kom in kasreyu; Kom nien molela luk, LEUM GOD. Kom mukena pa nga enenu in moul se inge.

6 Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me.

Porongo ke nga pang, Tuh nga arulana muta in ongoiya. Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk; Elos arulana ku likiyu.

7 Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.”

Aksukosokyeyu liki mwe keok luk, Na nga fah kaksakin kom in walil lun mwet lom Ke sripen orekma wo lom nu sik.
