Psalms 142 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 I zaiq (cry) with my qawal (sound / voice) to Yahawah (). With my qawal (sound / voice), I ask Yahawah () for chanan (showing favor).

2 I shapak (pour) out my shayach (complaint) panayam (face) him. I nagad (tell) him my tzarah (troubles).

3 When my rawach (spirit / wind) was itap (overwhelmed) within me, you yadai (knew) my nathayab (path). In the arach (way) in which I halak (move), they have taman (hidden) a pach (snare / trap) for me.

4 Nabat (look) on my yamayan (right hand), and raah (see / saw); for there is no nakar (one) who is concerned for me. Manawas (refuge) abad (destroy / perish) fled from me. No one darash (cares) for my napash (soul).

5 I zaiq (cried) to you, Yahawah (). I amar (spoke), “You are my machasah (refuge), my chalaq (portion) in the aratz (Earth/land) of the chay (life).”

6 Listen to my ranah (cry), for I am in desperate need. Natzal (deliver) me from my persecutors, For they are amatz (stronger) than me.

7 Yatzaa (go out / come out) my napash (soul) out of masagar (prison), that I may give yadah (thanks) to your sham (name). The tzadayaq (righteous) will surround me, for you will be gamal (good) to me.
