Psalms 140

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
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.	1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.
2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.	2 Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo, a viro violentiae serva me.
3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.	3 Qui cogitaverunt mala in corde, tota die constituebant proelia.
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.	4 Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis, venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
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.	5 Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris et a viro violentiae serva me, qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos.
6 Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,	6 Absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi et funes extenderunt in rete, iuxta iter offendicula posuerunt mihi.
7 as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.	7 Dixi Domino: “ Deus meus es tu; auribus percipe, Domine, vocem deprecationis meae ”.
8 For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.	8 Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meae, obumbrasti caput meum in die belli.
9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.	9 Ne concedas, Domine, desideria impii; consilia eius ne perficias. Exaltant
10 The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.	10 caput, qui circumdant me; malitia labiorum ipsorum operiat eos.
	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.
