Psalms 141 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 141
1The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave.
2With my voice, I cried out to the Lord. With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord.
3In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation.
4Though my spirit may become faint within me, even then, you have known my paths. Along this way, which I have been walking, they have hidden a snare for me.
5I considered toward the right, and I looked, but there was no one who would know me. Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern for my soul.
6I cried out to you, O Lord. I said: You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly. Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me.
8Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name. The just are waiting for me, until you repay me.
Psalms 141
1Of understanding for David, A prayer when he was in the cave.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
3In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:
4When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths. In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.
5I 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.
6I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
