HOLY BIBLE: Psalm 141 (original) (raw)

1 ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ κύριε ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ εἰσάκουσόν μου πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι με πρὸς σέ 2 κατευθυνθήτω ἡ προσευχή μου ὡς θυμίαμα ἐνώπιόν σου ἔπαρσις τῶν χειρῶν μου θυσία ἑσπερινή 3 θοῦ κύριε φυλακὴν τῷ στόματί μου καὶ θύραν περιοχῆς περὶ τὰ χείλη μου 4 μὴ ἐκκλίνῃς τὴν καρδίαν μου εἰς λόγους πονηρίας τοῦ προφασίζεσθαι προφάσεις ἐν ἁμαρτίαις σὺν ἀνθρώποις ἐργαζομένοις ἀνομίαν καὶ οὐ μὴ συνδυάσω μετὰ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῶν 5 παιδεύσει με δίκαιος ἐν ἐλέει καὶ ἐλέγξει με ἔλαιον δὲ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ λιπανάτω τὴν κεφαλήν μου ὅτι ἔτι καὶ ἡ προσευχή μου ἐν ταῖς εὐδοκίαις αὐτῶν

1 Come quickly, Lord, at my cry for succour; do not let my appeal to thee go unheard. 2 Welcome as incense-smoke let my prayer rise up before thee; when I lift up my hands, be it acceptable as the evening sacrifice. 3 Lord, set a guard on my mouth, post a sentry before my lips; 4 do not turn my heart towards thoughts of evil, and deeds of treachery; never let me take part with the wrong-doers, and share the banquet with them. 5 Rather let some just man deal me heavy blows; this shall be his kindness to me; reprove me, and it shall be balm poured over me; such unction never will this head refuse. Their injuries I will still greet with a prayer …

1 Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me;
intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te. 2
Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo;
elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum. 3
Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo,
et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis. 4
Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ,
ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis;
cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem,
et non communicabo cum electis eorum. 5
Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me:
oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum.
Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
