ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 141

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 συνεσεως τω δαυιδ εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τω σπηλαιω προσευχη	1 The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave.
2 φωνη μου προς κυριον εκεκραξα φωνη μου προς κυριον εδεηθην	2 With my voice, I cried out to the Lord. With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord.
3 εκχεω εναντιον αυτου την δεησιν μου την θλιψιν μου ενωπιον αυτου απαγγελω	3 In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation.
4 εν τω εκλειπειν εξ εμου το πνευμα μου και συ εγνως τας τριβους μου εν οδω ταυτη η επορευομην εκρυψαν παγιδα μοι	4 Though my spirit may become faint within me, even then, you have known my paths. Along this way, which I have been walking, they have hidden a snare for me.
5 κατενοουν εις τα δεξια και επεβλεπον οτι ουκ ην ο επιγινωσκων με απωλετο φυγη απ' εμου και ουκ εστιν ο εκζητων την ψυχην μου	5 I considered toward the right, and I looked, but there was no one who would know me. Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern for my soul.
6 εκεκραξα προς σε κυριε ειπα συ ει η ελπις μου μερις μου εν γη ζωντων	6 I cried out to you, O Lord. I said: You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7 προσχες προς την δεησιν μου οτι εταπεινωθην σφοδρα ρυσαι με εκ των καταδιωκοντων με οτι εκραταιωθησαν υπερ εμε	7 Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly. Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me.
8 εξαγαγε εκ φυλακης την ψυχην μου του εξομολογησασθαι τω ονοματι σου κυριε εμε υπομενουσιν δικαιοι εως ου ανταποδως μοι	8 Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name. The just are waiting for me, until you repay me.
