< Psalms 142 >
1 “A psalm of David; a prayer, when he was in the cave” I cry unto the LORD with my voice; With my voice to the LORD do I make my supplication.
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 declare before him my distress.
Effundo in conspectu eius orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuncio.
3 When my spirit is overwhelmed within me, Thou knowest my path! In the way 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 I look on my right hand, and behold, But no man knoweth me; Refuge faileth me; No one careth for me.
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 unto thee, O LORD! I say, Thou art 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 cry, for I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they prevail against me!
Intende ad deprecationem meam: quia humiliatus sum nimis. Libera me a persequentibus me: quia confortati sunt super me.
7 Bring me out of prison, That I may praise thy name! The righteous shall gather around me, When thou shalt show me thy favor.
Educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo: me expectant iusti, donec retribuas mihi.
