Psalm 141

Revised Version 1895

A Psalm of David.

1LORDH3068, I have calledH7121 uponH7121 thee; makeH7121 haste unto meH6963: giveH238 earH238 unto my voiceH6963, when I callH7121 unto thee.

2Let my prayerH8605 be setH3559 forth as incenseH7004 beforeH6440 thee; the liftingH4864 up of my handsH3709 as the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503.

3SetH7896 a watchH5341, O LORDH3068, beforeH5921 my mouthH6310; keepH5341 the doorH1817 of my tips.

4InclineH5186 notH408 my heartH3820 to anyH376 evilH7451 thingH1697, to be occupied in deedsH5949 of wickednessH7562 with menH376 that workH6466 iniquityH205: and letH408 meH1697 notH408 eatH3898 of their dainties.

5LetH408 the righteousH6662 smiteH1986 meH1986, it shall be a kindnessH2617; and letH408 him reproveH3198 meH1986, it shall be as oilH8081 upon the headH7218; letH408 notH408 my headH7218 refuseH5106 it: for evenH3588 in their wickednessH7451 shall my prayerH8605 continueH5750.

6Their judgesH8199 are thrownH8058 downH8058 by the sidesH3027 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 grave’s mouthH6310.

8For mine eyesH5869 are unto thee, O GODH136 the LordH136: in thee doH408 I put my trust; leaveH6168 notH408 my soulH5315 destitute.

9KeepH8104 meH8104 from the snareH4170 which they have laid for meH8104, and from the gins of the workersH6466 of iniquityH205.

10Let the wickedH7563 fallH5307 intoH5307 their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
