Psalmorum 142

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

A Psalme of David, to give instruction, and a prayer, when he was in the cave. I cryed vnto the Lord with my voyce: with my voyce I prayed vnto the Lord.

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

I powred out my meditation before him, and declared mine affliction in his presence.

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

Though my spirit was in perplexitie in me, yet thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked, haue they priuily layde 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.

I looked vpon my right hand, and beheld, but there was none that would knowe me: all refuge failed me, and none cared for my soule.

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

Then cryed I vnto thee, O Lord, and sayde, thou art mine hope, and my portion in the land of the liuing.

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

Hearken vnto my crye, for I am brought very lowe: deliuer me from my persecuters, for they are too strong for me.

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

Bring my soule out of prison, that I may prayse thy Name: then shall the righteous come about me, when thou art beneficiall vnto me.
