Filius hominis traditur in manus peccatorum (Mt 26, 45).

Eripe me, Dómine, ab hómine malo, * a viro violéntiæ serva me.

Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: * rescue me from the unjust man.

Qui cogitavérunt mala in corde, * tota die constituébant prœ́lia.

Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: † and from unjust men deliver me, * who have purposed to supplant my steps.

Ne concédas, Dómine, desidéria ímpii; * consília eius ne perfícias.

Psalm 140 (141)

In periculis oratio

Prayer in the face of danger

Et ascendit fumus incensorum de orationibus sanctorum de manu angeli coram Deo (Ap 8, 4).

The angel raised the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints before God (Rev 8:4).

Dómine, clamávi ad te, ad me festína; * inténde voci meæ, cum clamo ad te.

Lord, I have cried to thee, hear me: * harken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

Dirigátur orátio mea sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo, * elevátio mánuum meárum ut sacrifícium vespertínum.

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

Pone, Dómine, custódiam ori meo * et vigíliam ad óstium labiórum meórum.

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

Non declínes cor meum in verbum malítiæ * ad machinándas machinatiónes in impietáte

Incline not my heart to evil words: * to make excuses in sins.

cum homínibus operántibus iniquitátem; * et non cómedam ex delíciis eórum.

With men that work iniquity: * and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.

Percútiat me iustus in misericórdia et íncrepet me; † óleum autem peccatóris non impínguet caput meum, * quóniam adhuc et orátio mea in malítiis eórum.

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.

Deiécti in manus duras iúdicum eórum, * áudient verba mea, quóniam suávia erant.

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

Sicut frusta dolántis et dirumpéntis in terra, * dissipáta sunt ossa eórum ad fauces inférni.

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

Quia ad te, Dómine, Dómine, óculi mei; * ad te confúgi, non effúndas ánimam meam.

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

Custódi me a láqueo, quem statuérunt mihi, * et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem.

Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me: * and from the stumbling‑blocks of them that work iniquity.

Cadent in retiácula sua peccatóres simul, * ego autem ultra pertránseam.

The wicked shall fall in their own nets together: * I am alone until I pass.
