Psalms 142

DOUAI-RHEIMS	VULGATA
1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.	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.
2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.	2 Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.	3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam ; humiliavit in terra vitam meam ; collocavit me in obscuris, sicut mortuos sæculi.
4 Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.	4 Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus ; in me turbatum est cor meum.
5 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:	5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum ; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis : in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
6 their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:	6 Expandi manus meas ad te ; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
7 as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.	7 Velociter exaudi me, Domine ; defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me, et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.
8 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.	8 Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam in qua ambulem, quia ad te levavi animam meam.
9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.	9 Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine : ad te confugi.
10 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.	10 Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam.
	11 Propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me : in æquitate tua, educes de tribulatione animam meam,
	12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos, et perdes omnes qui tribulant animam meam, quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
