Salmos 142

A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh.

With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

2 I pour out my complaint before him.

I tell him my troubles.

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.

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.

5 I cried to you, Yahweh.

I said, "You are my refuge,

my portion in the land of the living."

6 Listen to my cry,

for I am in desperate need.

Deliver me from my persecutors,

for they are too strong for me.

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.

He Īnoi mō te Whakaoranga mai i ngā Kaiwhakawhiu

He Makiri nā Rāwiri; he īnoi i a ia i roto i te ana.

1 He karanga tā tōku reo ki a Ihowā;

he īnoi tā tōku reo ki a Ihowā.

2 Horahia ana tāku īnoi ki tōna aroaro;

whakaaturia ana e ahau tōku mate ki tōna aroaro.

3 I te ngaromanga o tōku wairua i roto i ahau

i mātau koe ki tōku ara.

Kua whakatakotoria pukutia e rātou

te māhanga mōku i te ara i haere ai ahau.

4 Titiro ki tōku taha matau, kia kite –

kāhore hoki tētahi tangata e mōhio ana ki ahau;

kāhore he piringa mōku;

kāhore tētahi e mahara ana ki tōku wairua.

5 I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā;

i mea, "Ko koe tōku piringa,

tōku wāhi i te whenua o te hunga ora."

6 Tahuri mai ki tāku karanga,

kua whakaititia rawatia hoki ahau.

Whakaorangia ahau i ōku kaitūkino,

he kaha rawa hoki rātou i ahau.

7 Whakaputaina tōku wairua i te herehere,

kia whakamoemiti ai ahau ki tōu ingoa.

Ka karapotia ahau e te hunga tika;

nōu ka atawhai nei i ahau.
