King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Deliver me, O LORD , from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
1Psalmus David. [Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
2Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
3Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
4Keep me, O LORD , from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
4Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem, et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins 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 said unto the LORD , Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD .
6absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered 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: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
8Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
9Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
10Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores: singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.]
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him .
