< Psalms 142 >

1 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.
intellectus David cum esset in spelunca oratio voce mea ad Dominum clamavi voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum
2 I pour forth before Him my (meditation) My distress before Him I declare.
effundo in conspectu eius deprecationem meam tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio
3 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast 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; Perished hath refuge 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 unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, '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 Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou 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 from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo me expectant iusti donec retribuas mihi
