A Psalm of David.
1 LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
1 eruditio David cum esset in spelunca oratio
2 voce mea ad Dominum clamavi
voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum
3 effundam in conspectu eius eloquium meum
tribulationem meam coram illo adnuntiabo
4 cum anxius in me fuerit spiritus meus
tu enim nosti semitam meam
in via hac qua ambulabo absconderunt laqueum mihi
5 respice ad dexteram et vide quia non sit qui cognoscat me
periit fuga a me
non est qui quaerat animam meam
6 clamavi ad te Domine dixi tu spes mea
pars mea in terra viventium
7 ausculta deprecationem meam quoniam infirmatus sum nimis
libera me a persecutoribus
quoniam confortati sunt super me
8 educ de carcere animam meam ut confiteatur nomini tuo
me expectant iusti cum retribueris mihi
