Lyrics: 

Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo: a viro iniquo libera ma. V.  Qui cogitaverunt militias in corde: tota die constituebant praelia. V.  Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis: venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum. V.  Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris: et ab hominibus iniquis libera me. V.  Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos: absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. V.  Et funes extenderunt in laqueum pedibus meis, iuxta iter scandalum posuerunt mihi. V.  Dixi Domino, Deus meus es tu: exaudi, Domine, vocem orationis meae. V.  Domine, Domine virtus salutis meae obumbra caput meum in die belli. V.  Ne tradas me a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt adversus me: ne derelinquas me, ne unquam exaltentur. V.  Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum opsorum operiet eos. V.  Verumtamen iusti confitebuntur nomini tuo: et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.

Translated Lyrics: 

Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man. V.  Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles. V.  They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; the venom of asps is under their lips. V.  Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. V.  Who have proposed to supplant my steps. The proud have hidden a net for me. V.  And tehy have stretched out cords for a snare for my feet; they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside. V.  I said to the Lord: Thou art my God. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication. V.  O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: overshadow my head in the day of battle. V.  Give me not up from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me. Do not Thou forsake me, lest at any time they should triumph. V.  The head of them compassing me about: the labor of their lips shall overwhelm them. V.  But the just shall give glory to Thy Name: and the upright shall dwell with Thy countenance.
