Psalms 142

1 AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A PRAYER WHEN HE IS IN THE CAVE. My voice [is] to YHWH, I cry, My voice [is] to YHWH, I beg [for] grace.

intellectus David cum esset in spelunca oratio voce mea ad Dominum clamavi voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum

2 I pour forth my meditation before Him, I declare my distress before Him.

effundo in conspectu eius deprecationem meam tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio

3 When my spirit has been feeble in me, Then You have known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

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

4 Looking on the right hand—and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Refuge has perished from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

considerabam ad dexteram et videbam et non erat qui cognosceret me periit fuga a me et non est qui requirit animam meam

5 I have cried to you, O YHWH, I have said, “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 Attend to my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.

intende ad deprecationem meam quia humiliatus sum nimis libera me a persequentibus me quia confortati sunt super me

7 Bring forth my soul from prison to confess Your Name, The righteous surround me about, When You confer benefits on me!

educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo me expectant iusti donec retribuas mihi
