Voce mea.
A prayer of David in extremity of danger.
141:1. Of understanding for David, A prayer when he was in the cave. [1
Kings 24.]
141:2. I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made
supplication to the Lord.
141:3. In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my
trouble:
141:4. When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths. In this
way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.
141:5. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that
would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath
regard to my soul.
141:6. I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in
the land of the living.
141:7. Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me
from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
141:8. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the
just wait for me, until thou reward me.
