תְהִלִּים 142

1 מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּהְיֹותֹ֖ו בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה׃ קֹ֭ולִי אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק קֹ֝ולִ֗י אֶל־יְהוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃

I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

2 אֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָ֝רָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד׃

I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.

3 בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֨י ׀ רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֮ יָדַ֪עְתָּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח־ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָמְנ֖וּ פַ֣ח לִֽי׃

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me.

4 הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין ׀ וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנֹ֣וס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דֹּורֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

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.

5 זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְה֫וָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃

I cried unto you, O LORD: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה ׀ אֶֽל־רִנָּתִי֮ כִּֽי־דַלֹּ֪ותִ֫י מְאֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 הֹ֘וצִ֤יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְהֹודֹ֪ות אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֭י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלֽ͏ָי׃

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.
