< 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 eius orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuncio.
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 expectant iusti, donec retribuas mihi.
