Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
Psalmus David. Domine clamavi ad te, exaudi me: intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo: elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Pone Domine custodiam ori meo: et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis, cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem: et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
5 Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
Corripiet me iustus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
6 When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
absorpti sunt iuncti petræ iudices eorum. Audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt:
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram. Dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum: (Sheol h7585)
8 For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
quia ad te Domine, Domine oculi mei: in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
Custodi me a laqueo, quem statuerunt mihi: et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal pass over.
Cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores: singulariter sum ego donec transeam.
