1Psalmus David. [Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
1(140-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (140-2) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
2Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
2(140-3) Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
3Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
3(140-4) They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah
4Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem, et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
4(140-5) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.
5Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
5(140-6) The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah
6absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
6(140-7) I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.
7Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram, dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.
7(140-8) O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
8Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
8(140-9) Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah
9Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
9(140-10) As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores: singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.]
10(140-11) Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
