Salmos 142

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	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 Invocaré al Señor con toda mi voz, con toda mi voz suplicaré al Señor;	2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
3 expondré mi queja ante él, expresaré mi angustia en su presencia.	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 Ya se me acaba el aliento, pero tú conoces mi camino: en la senda por donde voy me han ocultado una trampa.	4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
5 Miro a la derecha, observo, y no hay nadie que se ocupe de mí; ya no tengo dónde refugiarme, nadie se interesa por mi vi da.	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 Por eso clamo a ti, Señor, y te digo: «Tú eres mi refugio, mi herencia en la tierra de los vivientes».	6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7 Atiende a mi clamor, porque estoy en la miseria; líbrame de mis perseguidores, porque 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 Sácame de la prisión, y daré gracias a tu Nombre: porque los justos esperan que me concedas tu favor.	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.
