Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to thee; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee.
psalmus David Domine clamavi ad te exaudi me intende voci meae cum clamavero ad te
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
pone Domine custodiam ori meo et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
non declines cor meum in verba malitiae ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem et non communicabo cum electis eorum
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
corripiet me iustus in misericordia et increpabit me oleum autem peccatoris non inpinguet caput meum quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
absorti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
quia ad te Domine Domine oculi mei in te speravi non auferas animam meam
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi et ab scandalis operantium iniquitatem
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores singulariter sum ego donec transeam
