Psalms Chapter 140

1 Domine ?? , clamavi ?? ad ?? te ?? : exaudi ?? me ?? ; intende ?? voci ?? meæ ?? , cum ?? clamavero ?? ad ?? te ?? . I have cried to thee, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

2 Dirigatur ?? oratio ?? mea ?? sicut ?? incensum ?? in ?? conspectu ?? tuo ?? ; elevatio ?? manuum ?? mearum ?? sacrificium ?? vespertinum ?? . Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

3 Pone ?? , Domine ?? , custodiam ?? ori ?? meo ?? , et ?? ostium ?? circumstantiæ ?? labiis ?? meis ?? . Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

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

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

6 absorpti ?? sunt ?? juncti ?? petræ ?? judices ?? eorum ?? . Audient ?? verba ?? mea ?? , quoniam ?? potuerunt ?? . their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:

7 Sicut ?? crassitudo ?? terræ ?? erupta ?? est ?? super ?? terram ?? , dissipata ?? sunt ?? ossa ?? nostra ?? secus ?? infernum ?? . as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.

8 Quia ?? ad ?? te ?? , Domine ?? , Domine ?? , oculi ?? mei ?? ; in ?? te ?? speravi ?? , non ?? auferas ?? animam ?? meam ?? . But to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

9 Custodi ?? me ?? a ?? laqueo ?? quem ?? statuerunt ?? mihi ?? , et ?? a ?? scandalis ?? operantium ?? iniquitatem ?? . Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumbling-blocks of them that work iniquity.

10 Cadent ?? in ?? retiaculo ?? ejus ?? peccatores ?? : singulariter ?? sum ?? ego ?? , donec ?? transeam ?? . The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
