Psalm 141
A Psalm by David.
[141:1] Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you. [141:2] Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. [141:3] Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. [141:4] Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their delicacies. [141:5] Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds. [141:6] Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. [141:7] "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." [141:8] For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute. [141:9] Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity. [141:10] Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
