1In finem. Psalmus David.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
2[Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.
2Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
3Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia.
3Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
4Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
4They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
5Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
5Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.
6absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum; juxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi.
6The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
7Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ.
7I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
8Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli.
8O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
9Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur.
9Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
10Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.
10The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
11Cadent super eos carbones; in ignem dejicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent.
11Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
12Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum injustum mala capient in interitu.
12A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
13Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum.
13I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
14Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.]
14But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
