Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,
1Psalmus David. [Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
2who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.
2Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
3They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah
3Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
4Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.
4Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem, et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
5The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah
5Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
6I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
6absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.
7Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram, dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah
8Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
9May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
9Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
10May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
10Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores: singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.]
11May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
