Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa.
O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.
Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?
What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue?
Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.
Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est! habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar;
Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar:
multum incola fuit anima mea.
My soul hath been long a sojourner.
Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus; cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.
With them that hated peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
