Psalms 141

KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.1 Psalmus. David.
Domine, clamavi ad te, ad me festina;
intende voci meae, cum clamo ad te.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.2 Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo,
elevatio manuum mearum ut sacrificium vespertinum. -
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.3 Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo
et vigiliam ad ostium labiorum meorum.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.4 Non declines cor meum in verbum malitiae
ad machinandas machinationes in impietate
cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem;
et non comedam ex deliciis eorum.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.5 Percutiat me iustus in misericordia et increpet me;
oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum,
quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in malitiis eorum.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.6 Deiecti in manus duras iudicum eorum,
audient verba mea, quoniam suavia erant.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.7 Sicut frusta dolantis et dirumpentis in terra,
dissipata sunt ossa eorum ad fauces inferni.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.8 Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei;
ad te confugi, non effundas animam meam.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.9 Custodi me a laqueo, quem statuerunt mihi,
et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.10 Cadent in retiacula sua peccatores simul,
ego autem ultra pertranseam.
