Psalmorum 142

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

An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer. I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

2 effundo in conspectu eius deprecationem meam tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio

I pour out my plaint before him; I shew 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, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked 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 requirit animam meam

Look on the right hand and see; 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, 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 expectant iusti donec retribuas mihi

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.
