Psalms 141:1-6

1 intellectus David cum esset in spelunca oratio

2 voce mea ad Dominum clamavi voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum

3 effundo in conspectu eius deprecationem meam tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio

4 in deficiendo ex me spiritum meum et tu cognovisti semitas meas in via hac qua ambulabam absconderunt laqueum mihi

5 considerabam ad dexteram et videbam et non erat qui cognosceret me periit fuga a me et non est qui requirit animam meam

6 clamavi ad te Domine dixi tu es spes mea portio mea in terra viventium

Psalms 141:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 141

\\<>\\. This psalm was written about the same time, and upon the same occasion, as that going before and what follows after; even when David was persecuted by Saul, and when he was in great danger of his enemies, and snares were laid for his life.
