Salmos 142

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Poema. De David. Cuando estaba en la cueva. Oración.	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.
2 A Yahveh en mi clamor imploro. A Yahveh en mi clamor suplico.	2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
3 Ante él derramo mi lamento, mi angustia ante él expongo,	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.
4 cuando el aliento en mí se apaga; mas tú conoces mi sendero. En el camino por donde voy me han escondido un lazo.	4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
5 A la derecha mira, y ve, nadie hay que me conozca. Huye de mí todo refugio, nadie hay que cuide de mi alma.	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.
6 Hacia ti clamo, Yahveh; digo: ¡Tú, mi refugio, mi porción en la tierra de los vivos!	6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7 Atiende a mi clamor, pues estoy abatido del todo. ¡Líbrame tú de mis perseguidores, pues son más fuertes que yo!	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.
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.	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.
	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.
