Psalmus 141 (142)
Language: Latin 
1 [Intellectus David, cum esset in spelunca, oratio.]
2 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi,
  voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum.
3 Effundo in conspectu ejus orationem meam,
  et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio:
4 in deficiendo ex me spiritum meum,
  et tu cognovisti semitas meas.
  In via hac qua ambulabam
  absconderunt laqueum mihi.
5 Considerabam ad dexteram, et videbam,
  et non erat qui cognosceret me:
  periit fuga a me,
  et non est qui requirat animam meam.
6 Clamavi ad te, Domine;
  dixi: Tu es spes mea,
  portio mea in terra viventium.
7 Intende ad deprecationem meam,
  quia humiliatus sum nimis.
  Libera me a persequentibus me,
  quia confortati sunt super me.
8 Educ de custodia animam meam
  ad confitendum nomini tuo;
  me exspectant justi donec retribuas mihi.

Language: English  after the Latin 
1 I cried unto the Lord with my voice;
  with my voice unto the Lord 
  did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before him;
  I shewed before him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
  then Thou knewest my path.
  In the way wherein I walked have they privily 
  laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld,
  but there was no man that would know me:
  refuge failed me; 
  no man cared for my soul.
5 I cried unto Thee, O Lord: 
  I said, thou art my refuge 
  and my portion in the land of the living.
6 Attend unto my cry; 
  for I am brought very low:
  deliver me from my persecutors; 
  for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Thy name:
  the righteous shall compass me about;
  for Thou shall deal bountifully with me.
I cried unto the Lord; unto the Lord did I make my supplication. Attend unto my cry.
