VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Psalmus David. Domine, clamavi ad te : exaudi me ;
intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo ;
elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3 Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo,
et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4 Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ,
ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis ;
cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem,
et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me :
oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum.
Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum :
5 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.
6 absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum.
Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram,
dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei ;
in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi,
et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores :
singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
