Psalms 141

A Psalm of David.

1Jehovah, I have calledH7121 upon thee; make haste unto me:GiveH238 earH238 unto my voiceH6963, when I callH7121 unto thee.2Let my prayerH8605 be set forth as incenseH7004 before thee;The lifting up of my handsH3709 as the eveningH6153 sacrifice.3SetH7896 a watchH5341, O Jehovah, before my mouthH6310;KeepH5341 the doorH1817 of my lipsH8193.4InclineH5186 not my heartH3820 to any evilH7451 thingH1697,To practise deedsH5949 of wickednessH7562With menH376 that work iniquity:And let me not eatH3898 of their dainties.5Let the righteousH6662 smite me, it shall bea kindness;And let him reproveH3198 me, it shall be asoilH8081 upon the headH7218;Let not my headH7218 refuse it:For even in their wickednessH7451 shall my prayerH8605 continue.6Their judgesH8199 are thrown down by the sides of the rockH5553;And they shall hearH8085 my wordsH561; for they are sweet.7As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earthH776,Our bonesH6106 are scatteredH6340 at the mouthH6310 of SheolH7585.8For mine eyesH5869 are unto thee, O Jehovah the LordH136:In thee do I takeH2620 refugeH2620; leave not my soulH5315 destitute.9KeepH8104 me from the snareH4170 which they have laid for me,And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.10Let the wickedH7563 fallH5307 into their own nets,Whilst that I withal escape.
