Livro dos Salmos 142

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Hino de Davi, quando estava na caverna. Oração. Minha voz lança um grande brado ao Senhor, em alta voz imploro ao Senhor.	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 Ponho diante dele a minha inquietação, eu lhe exponho toda a minha angústia.	2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
3 Na hora em que meu espírito desfalece, vós conheceis o meu caminho. Na senda em que ando, ocultaram-me um laço.	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 Olho para a direita e vejo: não há ninguém que cuide de mim. Não existe para mim um refúgio, ninguém que se interesse pela minha vida.	4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
5 Eu vos chamo, Senhor, vós sois meu refúgio, meu quinhão na terra dos vivos.	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 Atendei ao meu clamor, porque estou numa extrema miséria. Livrai-me daqueles que me perseguem, porque são mais fortes do que eu.	6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7 Tirai-me desta prisão, para que possa agradecer ao vosso nome. Os justos virão rodear-me, quando me tiverdes feito este benefício.	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 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.
