Psalm 141
1 Lord, I
cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my
voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense;
and the lifting up of my hands as the evening
sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the
door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to
practise wicked works with men that work iniquity:
and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a
kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an
excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for
yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places,
they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as
when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in
thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for
me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst
that I withal escape.
