| 141 | 1 | Of understanding for David, A prayer when he was in the cave. [1 Kings 24.] | eruditio David cum esset in spelunca oratio |
| 141 | 2 | I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord. | voce mea ad Dominum clamavi voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum |
| 141 | 3 | In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble: | effundam in conspectu eius eloquium meum tribulationem meam coram illo adnuntiabo |
| 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. | cum anxius in me fuerit spiritus meus tu enim nosti semitam meam in via hac qua ambulabo absconderunt laqueum mihi |
| 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. | respice ad dexteram et vide quia non sit qui cognoscat me periit fuga a me non est qui quaerat animam meam |
| 141 | 6 | I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living. | clamavi ad te Domine dixi tu spes mea pars mea in terra viventium |
| 141 | 7 | Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. | ausculta deprecationem meam quoniam infirmatus sum nimis libera me a persecutoribus quoniam confortati sunt super me |
| 141 | 8 | Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me. | educ de carcere animam meam ut confiteatur nomini tuo me expectant iusti cum retribueris mihi |
