Psalms 142 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

142:0
מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּֽהְיוֹת֖וֹ בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה׃
συνέσεως τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ προσευχή
Intellectus David, cum esset in spelunca, oratio.
ወእክዑ ፡ ቅድሜሁ ፡ ስእለትየ ፤ ወእነግር ፡ ቅድሜሁ ፡ ሕማምየ ።
A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
142:1
ק֭וֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק ק֝וֹלִ֗י אֶל־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃
φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐκέκραξα φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐδεήθην
Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi, voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum.
ሶበ ፡ ተኀልቅ ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ በላዕሌየ ፤ አንተ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ታአምር ፡ ፍናትየ ፤
I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
142:2
אֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָ֝רָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד׃
ἐκχεῶ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ τὴν δέησίν μου τὴν θλῖψίν μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγελῶ
Effundo in conspectu ejus orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio :
በዛቲ ፡ ፍኖት ፡ እንተ ፡ ሖርኩ ፡ ኀብኡ ፡ ሊተ ፡ መሥገርተ ።
I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
142:3
בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֨י׀ רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֮ יָדַ֢עְתָּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח־ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָמְנ֖וּ פַ֣ח לִֽי׃
ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸ πνεῦμά μου καὶ σὺ ἔγνως τὰς τρίβους μου ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ ἐπορευόμην ἔκρυψαν παγίδα μοι
in deficiendo ex me spiritum meum, et tu cognovisti semitas meas. In via hac qua ambulabam absconderunt laqueum mihi.
ተመየጥኩ ፡ መንገለ ፡ የማንየ ፡ ወርኢኩ ፤ ወኀጣእኩ ፡ ዘያአምረኒ ፤
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
142:4
הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין׀ וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין־לִ֢י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου
Considerabam ad dexteram, et videbam, et non erat qui cognosceret me : periit fuga a me, et non est qui requirat animam meam.
ወኀበሂ ፡ ኣመስጥ ፡ አልብየ ፡ ወአልቦ ፡ ዘይትኃሠሥ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ነፍስይ ።
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.
142:5
זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְ֫הֹוָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַחַיִּֽים׃
ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ κύριε εἶπα σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου μερίς μου ἐν γῇ ζώντων
Clamavi ad te, Domine ; dixi : Tu es spes mea, portio mea in terra viventium.
ኀቤከ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ጸራኅኩ ፤ ወእቤለከ ፡ አንተ ፡ ተስፋየ ፤ ወአንተ ፡ መክፈልትየ ፡ በምድረ ፡ ሕያዋን ።
I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
142:6
הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה׀ אֶֽל־רִנָּתִי֮ כִּֽי־דַלּ֢וֹתִ֫י מְאֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ
Intende ad deprecationem meam, quia humiliatus sum nimis. Libera me a persequentibus me, quia confortati sunt super me.
ነጽር ፡ ስእለትየ ፡ እስመ ፡ ሐመምኩ ፡ ፈድፋደ ፤
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
142:7
ה֘וֹצִ֤יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְהוֹד֢וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֭י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי׃ {פ}
ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου κύριε ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσιν δίκαιοι ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι
Educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo ; me exspectant justi donec retribuas mihi.
አድኅነኒ ፡ እምእለ ፡ ሮዱኒ ፡ እስመ ፡ ይኄይሉኒ ። ወአውፅኣ ፡ እሞቅሕ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፡ ከመ ፡ እግነይ ፡ ለስምከ ፡ እግዚኦ ፤ ኪያየ ፡ ይፀንሑ ፡ ጻድቃን ፡ እስከ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ተዐስየኒ ።
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.
