Psalms 141

1Of understanding for David, A prayer when he was in the cave. [1 Kings 24.]

Intellectus David, cum esset in spelunca, oratio.

2I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi, voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum.

3In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

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

4When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths. In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.

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

5I 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.

6I 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.

7Attend 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.

8Bring 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 exspectant justi donec retribuas mihi.
