< Psalms 142 >

1 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto the LORD.
Intellectus David, cum esset in spelunca, oratio. [Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi, voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;
Effundo in conspectu ejus orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio:
3 When my spirit fainteth within me — Thou knowest my path — in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.
in deficiendo ex me spiritum meum, et tu cognovisti semitas meas. In via hac qua ambulabam absconderunt laqueum mihi.
4 Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for 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 have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'
Clamavi ad te, Domine; dixi: Tu es spes mea, portio mea in terra viventium.
6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.
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 give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
Educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo; me exspectant justi donec retribuas mihi.]
