VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Psalmus David. Domine, clamavi ad te : exaudi me ;
intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo ;
elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
2 Deliver me, LORD, from the wicked; preserve me from the violent,
3 Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo,
et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
3 From those who plan evil in their hearts, who stir up conflicts every day,
4 Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ,
ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis ;
cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem,
et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
4 Who sharpen their tongues like serpents, venom of asps upon their lips. Selah
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 Keep me, LORD, from the clutches of the wicked; preserve me from the violent, who plot to trip me up.
6 absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum.
Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
6 The arrogant have set a trap for me; villains have spread a net, laid snares for me by the wayside. Selah
7 Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram,
dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.
7 I say to the LORD: You are my God; listen, LORD, to the words of my prayer.
8 Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei ;
in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
8 My revered LORD, my strong helper, my helmet on the day of battle.
9 Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi,
et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
9 LORD, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not let their plots succeed. Selah
10 Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores :
singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.		10 Around me they raise their proud heads; may the mischief they threaten overwhelm them.
11 May God rain burning coals upon them, cast them into the grave never more to rise.
12 Slanderers will not survive on earth; evil will quickly entrap the violent.
13 For I know the LORD will secure justice for the needy, their rights for the poor.
14 Then the just will give thanks to your name; the upright will dwell in your presence.
