Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Psalmus David. [Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
1Deliver 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.
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison 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.
4Keep me, O LORD , from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis 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.
6absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
6I said unto the LORD , Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD .
7Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram, dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
8Grant not, O LORD , the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
9As 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.]
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
