Salmi 140

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.	1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
2 Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo, a viro violentiae serva me.	2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
3 Qui cogitaverunt mala in corde, tota die constituebant proelia.	3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
4 Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis, venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.	4 Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
5 Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris et a viro violentiae serva me, qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos.	5 The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
6 Absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi et funes extenderunt in rete, iuxta iter offendicula posuerunt mihi.	6 Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
7 Dixi Domino: “ Deus meus es tu; auribus percipe, Domine, vocem deprecationis meae ”.	7 as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.
8 Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meae, obumbrasti caput meum in die belli.	8 For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
9 Ne concedas, Domine, desideria impii; consilia eius ne perficias. Exaltant	9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
10 caput, qui circumdant me; malitia labiorum ipsorum operiat eos.	10 The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
11 Cadant super eos carbones ignis, in foveas deicias eos, et non exsurgant.
12 Vir linguosus non firmabitur in terra, virum violentiae mala capient in interitu.
13 Cognovi quia faciet Dominus iudicium inopis et vindictam pauperum.
14 Verumtamen iusti confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti in conspectu tuo.
