(Ps. 140) Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me.
inténde voci meæ, cum clamávero ad te.
Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
2. Dirigátur orátio mea sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo:
2. Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight:
elevátio mánuum meárum sacrifícium vespertínum.
the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
3. Pone, Dómine, custódiam ori meo:
3. O Lord, station a guard over my mouth
et óstium circumstántiæ lábiis meis.
and a door enclosing my lips.
4. Non declínes cor meum in verba malítiæ:
4. Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice,
ad excusándas excusatiónes in peccátis.

7. Quóniam adhuc et orátio mea in beneplácitis eórum:
7. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
absórpti sunt juncti petræ júdices eórum.
Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks.
8. Audient verba mea quóniam potuérunt:
8. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
sicut crassitúdo terræ erúpta est super terram.
as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground.

9. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.
quia ad te, Dómine, Dómine, óculi mei:
For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you.
in te sperávi, non áuferas ánimam meam.
In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.

10. Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me
et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem.
and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
11. Cadent in retiáculo ejus peccatóres:
11. The sinners will fall into his net.
singuláriter sum ego donec tránseam.
I am alone, until I pass over.

12. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
et Spirítui Sancto.
and to the Holy Spirit,

et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Dómine clamávi ad te, exáudi me.
Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me.
