Psalm 142 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

1 מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּהְיֹותֹ֖ו בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה׃

2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

2 קֹ֭ולִי אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק קֹ֝ולִ֗י אֶל־יְהוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, They have hidden a snare for me.

3 אֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָ֝רָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד׃

4 Look on my right, and see; For there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

4 בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֨י׀ רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֮ יָדַ֪עְתָּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח־ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָמְנ֖וּ פַ֣ח לִֽי׃

5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living."

5 הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין׀ וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנֹ֣וס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דֹּורֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

6 Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

6 זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְה֫וָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃

7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.

7 הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה׀ אֶֽל־רִנָּתִי֮ כִּֽי־דַלֹּ֪ותִ֫י מְאֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
