142:1 psalmus David quando filius eum persequebatur Domine exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua exaudi me in tua iustitia	142:1. A psalm of David, when his son Absalom pursued him. [2 Kings 17.] Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
142:2 et non intres in iudicio cum servo tuo quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens	142:2. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
142:3 quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam humiliavit in terra vitam meam conlocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos saeculi	142:3. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
142:4 et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus in me turbatum est cor meum	142:4 And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
142:5 memor fui dierum antiquorum meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis in factis manuum tuarum meditabar	142:5. I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
142:6 expandi manus meas ad te anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi diapsalma	142:6. I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
142:7 velociter exaudi me Domine defecit spiritus meus non avertas faciem tuam a me et similis ero descendentibus in lacum	142:7. Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
142:8 auditam mihi fac mane misericordiam tuam quia in te speravi notam fac mihi viam in qua ambulem quia ad te levavi animam meam	142:8. Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
142:9 eripe me de inimicis meis Domine ad te confugi	142:9. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:
142:10 doce me facere voluntatem tuam quia Deus meus es tu spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terra recta	142:10. Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:
142:11 propter nomen tuum Domine vivificabis me in aequitate tua educes de tribulatione animam meam	142:11 for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:
142:12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos et perdes omnes qui tribulant animam meam quoniam ego servus tuus sum	142:12. And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
