Psalms 142

1 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto the LORD.

Pesem ukovita Davidova, ko je bil v jami, molitev. Z glasom svojim kličem Gospoda; z glasom svojim prosim pred Gospodom.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;

Pred njim iztresam premišljevanje svoje; stisko svojo oznanjam pred njim.

3 When my spirit fainteth within me — Thou knowest my path — in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

Ko je omagoval moj duh v meni, takrat si ti spoznal stezo mojo, ko so mi skrivali zanko, kamorkoli sem popotoval.

4 Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.

Ozri se na desno in poglej; ni ga, da bi me poznal; izginilo mi je zavetje, ni ga, da bi skrbel za življenje moje.

5 I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'

K tebi kličem, Gospod, govoreč: Ti si zavetje moje, delež moj v deželi živečih.

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.

Poslušaj vpitje moje, ker ponižan sem silno; otmi me njih, ki me preganjajo, ker močnejši so od mene.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

Izpelji iz zapora življenje moje, da slavim ime tvoje; obdajali me bodo pravični, ko mi bodeš izkazal dobroto.
