< Psalms 142 >

1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي ٱلْمَغَارَةِ. صَلَاةٌ بِصَوْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَصْرُخُ. بِصَوْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَتَضَرَّعُ.١
2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
أَسْكُبُ أَمَامَهُ شَكْوَايَ. بِضِيقِيْ قُدَّامَهُ أُخْبِرُ.٢
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
عِنْدَ مَا أَعْيَتْ رُوحِي فِيَّ، وَأَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ مَسْلَكِي. فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَسْلُكُ أَخْفَوْا لِي فَخًّا.٣
4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there was] no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ وَأَبْصِرْ، فَلَيْسَ لِي عَارِفٌ. بَادَ عَنِّي ٱلْمَنَاصُ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ نَفْسِي.٤
5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ. قُلْتُ: «أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي، نَصِيبِي فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ».٥
6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
أَصْغِ إِلَى صُرَاخِي، لِأَنِّي قَدْ تَذَلَّلْتُ جِدًّا. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي.٦
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
أَخْرِجْ مِنَ ٱلْحَبْسِ نَفْسِي، لِتَحْمِيدِ ٱسْمِكَ. ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَكْتَنِفُونَنِي، لِأَنَّكَ تُحْسِنُ إِلَيَّ.٧
