Psalms 142

1 A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

Yon Sòm Refleksyon pa David lè l te nan kav la. Yon lapriyè Mwen kriye fò avèk vwa mwen vè SENYÈ a. Ak vwa m, mwen fè siplikasyon a SENYÈ a pou m mande L mizerikòd.

2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

Mwen vide plent mwen yo devan L. Mwen deklare pwoblèm mwen yo devan L.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

Lè lespri m te fin bat anndan m, Ou te konnen chemen mwen. Nan wout kote m mache a, yo te sere yon pyèj pou mwen.

4 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

Gade adwat pou wè. Nanpwen moun ki veye pou mwen. Nanpwen moun ki pou fè m chape. Nanpwen moun ki pou pran swen m.

5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Mwen te kriye a Ou menm, O SENYÈ. Mwen te di “Se Ou menm ki sekou mwen, pòsyon mwen nan peyi moun vivan yo.”

6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

“Prete atansyon a kri mwen yo, paske mwen vin desann ba nèt. Delivre mwen nan men pèsekitè mwen yo, paske yo twò fò pou mwen.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

Mennen nanm mwen sòti nan prizon, pou m kab bay remèsiman a non Ou. Moun ladwati mwen yo va antoure mwen, paske Ou va aji nan bonte Ou anvè mwen.”
