Psalms 141
(Psalm 70:1–5)
A Psalm of David.
1I call upon YouH7121, O LORDH3068; come quicklyH2363 to me.HearH238 my voiceH6963 when I callH7121 to You.2May my prayerH8605 be setH3559 before YouH6440 like incenseH7004;my upliftedH4864 handsH3709, like the eveningH6153 offeringH4503.3SetH7896 a guardH8108, O LORDH3068, over my mouthH6310;keep watchH5341 atH5921 the doorH1817 of my lipsH8193.4Do not letH408 my heartH3820 be drawnH5186 to any evilH7451 thingH1697or take partH5953 in worksH5949 of wickednessH7562withH854 menH376 who doH6466 iniquityH205;let me notH1077 feastH3898 on their delicaciesH4516.
5Let the righteous manH6662 strike meH1986;let his rebukeH3198 be an act of loving devotionH2617.It is oilH8081 for my headH7218; let me notH408 refuse itH5106H7218.ForH3588 my prayer is ever againstH8605H5750 the deeds of the wickedH7451.6When their rulersH8199 are thrown downH8058 fromH3027 the cliffsH5553,the people will listenH8085 to my wordsH561,forH3588 they are pleasantH5276.7As whenH3644 one plowsH6398 and breaks upH1234 the soilH776,so our bonesH6106 have been scatteredH6340 at the mouthH6310 of SheolH7585.
8ButH3588 my eyesH5869 are fixed on YouH413,O GODH3069 the LordH136.In You I seek refugeH2620;do notH408 leaveH6168 my soul defenselessH5315.19Keep meH8104 fromH3027 the snaresH6341 they have laidH3369 for me,and from the luresH4170 of evildoersH6466H205.10Let the wickedH7563H3162 fallH5307 into their own netsH4364,whileH5704 IH595 pass by in safetyH5674.
