Psalmorum 142

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

Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

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

In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare 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 failed me, then thou newest my paths.

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

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.

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

I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, 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 to my supplication: 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 praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
