141:1 O LORD, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! |
141:2 May You count my prayer as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. |
141:3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. |
141:4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men who do iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies. |
141:5 Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It seems like oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still I pray against their wicked deeds. |
141:6 You throw their judges down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they seem pleasant. |
141:7 As when one plows and breaks open the earth, Our bones have become scattered at the mouth of Sheol. |
141:8 For my eyes fix on You, O GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless. |
141:9 Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do iniquity. |
141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I pass by safely. |
