Psalms 141

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 A psalm of David. LORD, I call to you; come quickly to help me; listen to my plea when I call.	1 Intellectus David, cum esset in spelunca, oratio.
2 Let my prayer be incense before you; my uplifted hands an evening sacrifice.	2 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi, voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum.
3 Set a guard, LORD, before my mouth, a gatekeeper at my lips.	3 Effundo in conspectu ejus orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio :
4 Do not let my heart incline to evil, or yield to any sin. I will never feast upon the fine food of evildoers.	4 in deficiendo ex me spiritum meum, et tu cognovisti semitas meas. In via hac qua ambulabam absconderunt laqueum mihi.
5 Let the just strike me; that is kindness; let them rebuke me; that is oil for my head. All this I shall not refuse, but will pray despite these trials.	5 Considerabam ad dexteram, et videbam, et non erat qui cognosceret me : periit fuga a me, et non est qui requirat animam meam.
6 When their leaders are cast over the cliff, all will learn that my prayers were heard.	6 Clamavi ad te, Domine ; dixi : Tu es spes mea, portio mea in terra viventium.
7 As when a farmer plows a field into broken clods, so their bones will be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.	7 Intende ad deprecationem meam, quia humiliatus sum nimis. Libera me a persequentibus me, quia confortati sunt super me.
8 My eyes are upon you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I take refuge; do not strip me of life.	8 Educ de custodia animam meam ad confitendum nomini tuo ; me exspectant justi donec retribuas mihi.
9 Guard me from the trap they have set for me, from the snares of evildoers.
10 Into their own nets let all the wicked fall, while I make good my own escape.
