Psalmorum 142

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

Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

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

I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.

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

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

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

Look on [my] right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

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

I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

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

Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.

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

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
