Psalms 142

1 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.

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

2 In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

Effundo in conspectu eius orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuncio.

3 When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths.

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

4 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.

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

5 I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

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

6 Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

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

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.

Educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo: me expectant iusti, donec retribuas mihi.
