圣咏集 141

1I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

2Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

3Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

4Incline 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.

5The 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:

6Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:

7As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.

8But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

9Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.

10The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.

1Psalmus David. [Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.

2Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.

3Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.

4Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem, et non communicabo cum electis eorum.

5Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:

6absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.

7Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram, dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum.

8Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.

9Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.

10Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores: singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.]

1A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.

2Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.

3O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.

4Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.

5The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.

6Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,

7as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.

8For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.

9Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.

10The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
