< Psalms 141 >

1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, 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 directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
pone Domine custodiam ori meo et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis
4 Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
non declines cor meum in verba malitiae ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem et non communicabo cum electis eorum
5 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
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 judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
absorti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt
7 As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol h7585)
sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum (Sheol h7585)
8 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
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 stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi et ab scandalis operantium iniquitatem
10 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores singulariter sum ego donec transeam
