139:1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.
In finem. Psalmus David.

139:2 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.

139:3 Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia.

139:4 They 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.

139:5 Keep 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:

139:6 the proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside.
absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum; juxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi.

139:7 I 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.

139:8 O 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.

139:9 Give 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.

139:10 The head of their compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.

139:11 Burning 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.

139:12 A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evils shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum injustum mala capient in interitu.

139:13 I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum.

139:14 But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.
