1 I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.3 When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.5 I cry to you, LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.7 Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.

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 Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo,quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam ;humiliavit in terra vitam meam ;collocavit me in obscuris, sicut mortuos sculi.4 Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus ;in me turbatum est cor meum.5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum ;meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis :in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.6 Expandi manus meas ad te ;anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.7 Velociter exaudi me, Domine ;defecit spiritus meus.Non avertas faciem tuam a me,et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.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 Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine :ad te confugi.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 quitate 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.]
