Psalm 142

English Standard Version

from Crossway

You Are My Refuge

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

1 With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD. (Ps 3:4; Ps 30:8) 

2 I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. (Isa 26:16) 

3 When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. (Ps 77:3; Ps 140:5) 

4 Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. (Job 11:20; Ps 16:8; Ps 31:11; Ps 69:20; Jer 25:35) 

5 I cry to you, O LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” (Ps 14:6; Ps 16:5; Ps 27:13) 

6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! (Ps 17:1; Ps 18:17; Ps 79:8) 

7 Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me. (Ps 13:6; Ps 143:11; Isa 42:7)

Psalm 142

Louis Segond 1910

1 Cantique de David. Lorsqu'il était dans la caverne. Prière. 

2 De ma voix je crie à l'Éternel, De ma voix j'implore l'Éternel. 

3 Je répands ma plainte devant lui, Je lui raconte ma détresse. 

4 Quand mon esprit est abattu au dedans de moi, Toi, tu connais mon sentier. Sur la route où je marche Ils m'ont tendu un piège. 

5 Jette les yeux à droite, et regarde! Personne ne me reconnaît, Tout refuge est perdu pour moi, Nul ne prend souci de mon âme. 

6 Éternel! c'est à toi que je crie. Je dis: Tu es mon refuge, Mon partage sur la terre des vivants. 

7 Sois attentif à mes cris! Car je suis bien malheureux. Délivre-moi de ceux qui me poursuivent! Car ils sont plus forts que moi. 

8 Tire mon âme de sa prison, Afin que je célèbre ton nom! Les justes viendront m'entourer, Quand tu m'auras fait du bien.
