Psalmorum 141
1 Psalmus David. Domine clamavi ad te, exaudi me: intende voci meae, cum clamavero ad te.
A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.
2 Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo: elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.
3 Pone Domine custodiam ori meo: et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis.
Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
4 Non declines cor meum in verba malitiae, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis. Cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem: et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
5 Corripiet me iustus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.
6 absorpti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum. Audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt:
Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
7 sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram. Dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum: (Sheol h7585)
As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
8 quia ad te Domine, Domine oculi mei: in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
9 Custodi me a laqueo, quem statuerunt mihi: et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
10 Cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores: singulariter sum ego donec transeam.
The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
