Psalmorum 142

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

Yahweh, I cry out to you; I plead [with you to help me].

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

I am bringing to you [all] my problems; I am telling you [all] my troubles/difficulties.

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

When I am very discouraged, you know what I should do. Wherever I walk, [it is as though] my enemies have hidden traps for me [to fall into].

4 considerabam ad dexteram et videbam et non erat qui cognosceret me periit fuga a me et non est qui requirit animam meam

I look around, but there is no one who pays attention to me, no one who will protect me, no one who cares about [what happens to] me.

5 clamavi ad te Domine dixi tu es spes mea portio mea in terra viventium

[So] Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; you are the one who protects me; and you are all that I need while I am alive.

6 intende ad deprecationem meam quia humiliatus sum nimis libera me a persequentibus me quia confortati sunt super me

Listen to me while I cry out to you [for help], because I am very distressed. Rescue/Save me from those who are pursuing me, because they are very strong, with the result that I cannot [escape from them].

7 educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo me expectant iusti donec retribuas mihi

Free/Rescue me from my troubles/difficulties [MET] in order that I may thank you. If you do that, when I am with godly/righteous [people], [I will praise you] for having been very good to me.
