Psalms 142 — parallel

142:1

Psalmus David, quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius ejus. Domine, exaudi orationem meam ; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua ; exaudi me in tua justitia.

of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

142:2

Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.

I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

142:3

Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam ; humiliavit in terra vitam meam ; collocavit me in obscuris, sicut mortuos sæculi.

Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

142:4

Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus ; in me turbatum est cor meum.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

142:5

Memor fui dierum antiquorum ; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis : in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.

I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

142:6

Expandi manus meas ad te ; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

142:7

Velociter exaudi me, Domine ; defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me, et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.

Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.

142:8

Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam in qua ambulem, quia ad te levavi animam meam.
