VOCE
mea ad Dóminum clamávi *
voce mea ad Dóminum deprecátus
sum.
Effundo in conspéctu eius
deprecatiónem meam *
tribulatiónem meam
ante ipsum pronúnti–o.
In deficiéndo ex me
spíritum meum *
et tu cognovísti sémitas
meas.
In via hac qua ambulábam
*
abscondérunt láqueum
mihi.

2 With all my voice
I cry to the Lord,
with all my voice I entreat the Lord.
3 I pour out my
trouble before him;
I tell him all my distress
4 while my spirit
faints within me.
But you, O Lord, know my path.
On the way where I shall walk
they have hidden a snare to entrap me.

Périit fuga

Clamávi ad te Dómine

5 Look on my right
and see:
there is no one who takes my part.
I have no means of escape,
not one who cares for my soul.
6 I cry to you, O
Lord.
I have said: "You are my refuge
all I have in the land of the living."
7 Listen, then, to
my cry
for I am in the depths of distress.

Rescue me from those who
pursue me
for they are stronger than I.
8 Bring my soul out
of this prison
and then I shall praise your name.
Around me the just will
assemble
because of your goodness to me.
Glory be to the Father and to
the Son
and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning is
now and always
world without end, Amen
