1(142) [A Psalm] of instruction for David, when he was in the cave, —a Prayer. I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voiceI made supplication to the Lord.
1A 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.
2I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him my affliction.
2I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3When my spirit was fainting within me, then you knew my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.
4Look 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.
5I cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
5I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.
6Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until you recompense me.
7Bring 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.
