"O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph. "
— Psalms 139:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;”
“If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; ”
“If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;”
“If I were to fly away on the wings of the dawn, and settle down on the other side of the sea,”
“Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.”
“If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;”
“If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;”
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
