1Taaveti õpetuslaul; palve, kui ta oli koopas.
1I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
2Oma häält tõstes ma kisendan Issanda poole, oma häält tõstes ma anun Issandat.
2I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3Ma valan välja oma kaebuse tema ette, ma annan temale teada oma ahastuse.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4Kui minu vaim nõrkeb mu sees, siis sina tunned mu teerada. Teele, mida ma käin, on minu jaoks peidetud püünised.
4Look 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.
5Vaata paremale poole ja näe, et mul ei ole, kes mind tunneks. Pelgupaik on mu eest hävinud, ükski ei hooli mu hingest.
5I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6Ma kisendan sinu poole, Issand! Ma ütlen: Sina oled mu pelgupaik, mu osa elavate maal!
6Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
7Pane tähele mu halisemist, sest ma olen väga nõder! Vabasta mind mu tagaajajate käest, sest nad on minust tugevamad!
7Bring 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.
8Vii välja mu hing vangist tänama sinu nime! Õiged käivad mu ümber, kui sina mulle head teed.
