Psalms 142

1 A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

Intellectus David, cum esset in spelunca, oratio. [Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi, voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

Effundo in conspectu ejus orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio:

3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

in deficiendo ex me spiritum meum, et tu cognovisti semitas meas. In via hac qua ambulabam absconderunt laqueum mihi.

4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

Considerabam ad dexteram, et videbam, et non erat qui cognosceret me: periit fuga a me, et non est qui requirat animam meam.

5 I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Clamavi ad te, Domine; dixi: Tu es spes mea, portio mea in terra viventium.

6 Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

Intende ad deprecationem meam, quia humiliatus sum nimis. Libera me a persequentibus me, quia confortati sunt super me.

7 Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.

Educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo; me exspectant justi donec retribuas mihi.]
