1 psalmus David
Domine clamavi ad te exaudi me
intende voci meae cum clamavero ad te
2 dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo
elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum
3 pone Domine custodiam ori meo
et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis
4 non declines cor meum in verba malitiae
ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis
cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem
et non communicabo cum electis eorum
5 corripiet me iustus in misericordia et increpabit me
oleum ÷autem: peccatoris non inpinguet caput meum
quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum
6 absorti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum
audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt
7 sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram
dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum
8 quia ad te Domine Domine oculi mei
in te speravi non auferas animam meam
9 custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi
et ab scandalis operantium iniquitatem
10 cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores
singulariter sum ego donec transeam
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him .
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
