Psalms 139
2Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.
3Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia.
4They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of asps is under their lips.
Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
5Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps:
Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
7I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ.
8O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli.
9Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur.
10The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.
11Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
Cadent super eos carbones; in ignem dejicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent.
12A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum injustum mala capient in interitu.
