Psalms

Chapter 142
1
Phonetic (Hebrew): mashsekּi֥yl ledavi֑d bּiheyot֖o bamּe'ara֣h tepilּaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.

מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּהְיוֹת֖וֹ בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה׃

2
Phonetic (Hebrew): q֭oliy 'el-yehva֣h 'eze'a֑q q֝oli֗y 'el-yehva֥h 'etechanּaֽn׃
Edified Edition (EDE)I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.

ק֭וֹלִי אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק ק֝וֹלִ֗י אֶל־יְהוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): eshshepּo֣ke lepana֣yv shsiychi֑y tza֝rati֗y lepana֥yv 'agּiֽyd׃
Edified Edition (EDE)When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.

אֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָ֝רָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): bּehite'atּe֬p 'ala֨y ׀ ruchi֗y ve'atּah֮ yada֪'etּa neֽtiyba֫ti֥y bּe'oֽrach-z֥u 'ahalּe֑ke tamen֖u pa֣ch liֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.

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

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): habּe֤yt yami֨yn ׀ ure'eh֮ ve'eֽyn-li֪y ma֫kּi֥yr 'aba֣d man֣os mimּe֑nּiy 'e֖yn dּore֣shsh lenapeshshiֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)I cry to you, LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין ׀ וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): za'a֥qetּiy 'ele֗yka yeh֫va֥h 'a֭maretּiy 'atּa֣h machesi֑y che֝leqi֗y bּe'e֣retz haֽchayּiym׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְה֫וָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): haqeshshi֤ybah ׀ 'eֽl-rinּatiy֮ kּiֽy-dalּ֪oti֫y me'o֥d hatzּiyle֥niy merodepa֑y kּi֖y 'ametz֣u mimּeֽnּiy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather around me because of your goodness to me.

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

8

ה֘וֹצִ֤יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְהוֹד֪וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֭י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי׃
