Psalms 142

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.	1 Poema. De David. Cuando estaba en la cueva. Oración.
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.	2 A Yahveh en mi clamor imploro. A Yahveh en mi clamor suplico.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.	3 Ante él derramo mi lamento, mi angustia ante él expongo,
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.	4 cuando el aliento en mí se apaga; mas tú conoces mi sendero. En el camino por donde voy me han escondido un lazo.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.	5 A la derecha mira, y ve, nadie hay que me conozca. Huye de mí todo refugio, nadie hay que cuide de mi alma.
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.	6 Hacia ti clamo, Yahveh; digo: ¡Tú, mi refugio, mi porción en la tierra de los vivos!
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.	7 Atiende a mi clamor, pues estoy abatido del todo. ¡Líbrame tú de mis perseguidores, pues son más fuertes que yo!
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.	8 ¡Saca mi alma de la cárcel, y daré gracias a tu nombre! En torno a mí los justos harán corro, por tu favor para conmigo.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
