Psal. 142. Voce mea ad Dominum.
Maschil Davidis, cùm esset in spelunca, oratio.
1
My voyce, up to the Lord, I strain'd,and shew'd my wofull case;
My voyce, unto the Lord complain'd,
and humbly su'd for grace.
2
My meditation I prepar'd,before him to expresse;
Before his face, have I declar'd,
and powr'd out my distresse.
281
3
When, sunk my spirit within me lay,my path then didst thou know;
A snare to walk on, in my way,
they closely did bestow.
4
On my right hand I lookt, and saw,to know me there was none:
All refuge did from me withdraw;
to seeke my soule, not one.
5
To thee, ô Lord, I cry'd, and said,to thee my hopes arrive;
My lot before me thou hast lay'd,
the land of them that live.
6
Consider my complaint, to thee,attend my low-brought cry:
From my pursuers rescue me,
they stronger are than I.
7
My soule out of close prison bring,I shall confesse thy Name;
The just about me in a ring,
thy bountie shall proclaime.
