Psalms 142

NEW JERUSALEM	Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah
1 [Psalm Of David When he was in the cave Prayer] To Yahweh I cry out with my plea. To Yahweh Icry out with entreaty.	1 מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִדבִּֽהְיוֹתוֹ בַמְּעָרָה תְפִלָּֽה׃
2 I pour out my worry in his presence, in his presence I unfold my troubles.	2 קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָה אֶזְעָקקוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָה אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃
3 However faint my spirit; you are watching over my path. On the road I have to travel they havehidden a trap for me.	3 אֶשְׁפֹּךְ לְפָנָיו שִׂיחִיצָרָתִי לְפָנָיו אַגִּֽיד׃
4 Look on my right and see -- there is no one who recognises me. Al refuge is denied me, no onecares whether I live or die.	4 בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי ׀ רוּחִיוְאַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ נְֽתִיבָתִיבְּאֹֽרַח־זוּ אֲהַלֵּךְטָמְנוּ פַח לִֽי׃
5 I cry out to you, Yahweh, I affirm, 'You are my refuge, my share in the land of the living!'	5 הַבֵּיט יָמִין ׀ וּרְאֵה וְאֵֽין־לִי מַכִּיראָבַד מָנוֹס מִמֶּנִּיאֵין דּוֹרֵשׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
6 Listen to my cal ing, for I am miserably weak. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are toostrong for me.	6 זָעַקְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָהאָמַרְתִּי אַתָּה מַחְסִיחֶלְקִי בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּֽים׃
7 Lead me out of prison that I may praise your name. The upright gather round me because of yourgenerosity to me.	7 הַקְשִׁיבָה ׀ אֶֽל־רִנָּתִי כִּֽי־דַלּוֹתִי מְאֹדהַצִּילֵנִי מֵרֹדְפַיכִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
	8 הוֹצִיאָה מִמַּסְגֵּר ׀ נַפְשִׁי לְהוֹדוֹת אֶת־שְׁמֶךָבִּי יַכְתִּרוּ צַדִּיקִיםכִּי תִגְמֹל עָלָֽי׃
