Psalms 142

Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad bijaše u spilji. Molitva.

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

Iz svega glasa vapijem Jahvi, iz svega glasa Jahvu zaklinjem.

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

Pred njim svoju izlijevam tužaljku, tjeskobu svoju pred njim razastirem.

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.

Ako duh moj i klone u meni, ti put moj poznaješ. Na putu kojim prolazim potajnu mi zamku staviše.

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.

Obazrem li se nadesno i pogledam: nitko ne zna za mene. Nemam kamo pobjeći, nitko za život moj ne mari.

I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

K tebi, Jahve, vapijem; govorim: ti si mi utočište, ti si dio moj u zemlji živih.

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

Poslušaj moje vapaje jer sam veoma nevoljan. Izbavi me od gonitelja mojih jer od mene oni su moćniji. [ (Psalms 142:8) Izvedi iz tamnice dušu moju da zahvaljujem imenu tvojemu. Oko mene će se okupiti pravednici zbog dobra što si ga iskazao meni. ]

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.
