Psalm 141

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Lord,3068 I cry7121 to you: make haste2363 to me; give ear238 to my voice,6963 when I cry7121 to you.

2 Let my prayer8605 be set3559 forth before6440 you as incense;7004 and the lifting4864 up of my hands3709 as the evening6153 sacrifice.4503

3 Set7896 a watch,8108 O LORD,3068 before my mouth;6310 keep5341 the door1817 of my lips.8193

4 Incline5186 not my heart3820 to any evil7451 thing,1697 to practice5953 wicked7562 works5949 with men376 that work5950 iniquity:205 and let me not eat3898 of their dainties.4516

5 Let the righteous6662 smite1986 me; it shall be a kindness:2617 and let him reprove3198 me; it shall be an excellent7218 oil,8081 which shall not break5106 my head:7218 for yet5750 my prayer8605 also shall be in their calamities.7451

6 When their judges8199 are overthrown8058 in stony5553 places,3027 they shall hear8085 my words;561 for they are sweet.5276

7 Our bones6106 are scattered6340 at the grave's7585 mouth,6310 as when one cuts6398 and splits1234 wood on the earth.776

8 But my eyes5869 are to you, O GOD3069 the Lord:136 in you is my trust;2620 leave6168 not my soul5315 destitute.6168

9 Keep8104 me from the snares6341 which they have laid3369 for me, and the gins4170 of the workers6466 of iniquity.205

10 Let the wicked7563 fall5307 into their own nets,4365 whilst5704 that I with3162 escape.5674

Psalms

Psalm 141

1 LORD, I cry to thee; make haste to answer me; give ear to my words and accept them.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the gift of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips,

4 So that my heart may not incline to evil things, and practise wicked works with men who work iniquity; let me not eat salt with them.

5 Let the righteous teach me and reprove me; let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head since my prayer has been against their evils.

6 When their judges are stopped by a strong hand, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

7 Like the ploughshare that scatters the earth, let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.

8 I have lifted up mine eyes to thee, O LORD; I have trusted in thee; do not reject my soul.

9 Keep me from the hand of the proud, for they have set traps for me.

10 Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, whilst I shall pass over.
