VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Psalmus David. Domine, clamavi ad te : exaudi me ;
intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] Rescue me, Yahweh, from evil men, protect me from violentmen,
2 Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo ;
elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
2 whose heart is bent on malice, day after day they harbour strife;
3 Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo,
et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
3 their tongues as barbed as a serpent's, viper's venom behind their lips.Pause
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, Yahweh, from the clutches of the wicked, protect me from violent men, who are bent onmaking me stumble,laying out snares where I walk,
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 in their arrogance hiding pitfal and nooseto trap me as I pass.Pause
6 absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum.
Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
6 I said to Yahweh, 'You are my God.' Listen, Yahweh, to the sound of my prayer.
7 Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram,
dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.
7 Yahweh my Lord, my saving strength, you shield my head when battle comes.
8 Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei ;
in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
8 Yahweh, do not grant the wicked their wishes, do not let their plots succeed.Pause Do not let myattackers
9 Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi,
et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
9 prevail, but let them be overwhelmed by their own malice.
10 Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores :
singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.		10 May red-hot embers rain down on them, may they be flung into the mire once and for all.
11 May the slanderer find no rest anywhere, may evil hunt down violent men implacably.
12 I know that Yahweh wil give judgement for the wretched, justice for the needy.
13 The upright shal praise your name, the honest dwel in your presence.
