Psalmorum 142

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

The lernyng of Dauid; `his preier, `whanne he was in the denne. With my vois Y criede to the Lord; with my vois Y preiede hertli to the Lord.

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

I schede out my preier in his siyt; and Y pronounce my tribulacioun bifor him.

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

While my spirit failith of me; and thou hast knowe my pathis. In this weie in which Y yede; proude men hidden a snare to me.

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

I bihelde to the riyt side, and Y siy; and noon was that knew me. Fliyt perischide fro me; and noon is that sekith my soule.

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

Lord, Y criede to thee, Y seide, Thou art myn hope; my part in the lond of lyueris.

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

Yyue thou tent to my biseching; for Y am maad low ful greetli. Delyuere thou me fro hem that pursuen me; for thei ben coumfortid on me.

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

Lede my soule out of keping to knouleche to thi name; iust men abiden me, til thou yelde to me.
