Psalms 141

A Psalm of David.

1LORDH3068, I cryH7121 to thee: make hasteH2363 to me; give earH238 to my voiceH6963, when I cryH7121 to thee. 2Let my prayerH8605 be set forthH3559 beforeH6440 thee as incenseH7004; and the lifting upH4864 of my handsH3709 as the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503.1 3SetH7896 a watchH8108, O LORDH3068, before my mouthH6310; keepH5341 the doorH1817 of my lipsH8193. 4InclineH5186 not my heartH3820 to any evilH7451 thingH1697, to practiseH5953 wickedH7562 worksH5949 with menH376 that workH6466 iniquityH205: and let me not eatH3898 of their daintiesH4516.

5Let the righteousH6662 smiteH1986 me; it shall be a kindnessH2617: and let him reproveH3198 me; it shall be an excellentH7218 oilH8081, which shall not breakH5106 my headH7218: for yet my prayerH8605 also shall be in their calamitiesH7451.2 6When their judgesH8199 are overthrownH8058 in stonyH5553 placesH3027, they shall hearH8085 my wordsH561; for they are sweetH5276. 7Our bonesH6106 are scatteredH6340 at the grave’sH7585 mouthH6310, as when one cuttethH6398 and cleavethH1234 wood upon the earthH776. 8But my eyesH5869 are to thee, O GODH3069 the LordH136: in thee is my trustH2620; leaveH6168 not my soulH5315 destituteH6168.3 9KeepH8104 me from the trapsH3027H6341 which they have laidH3369 for me, and the snaresH4170 of the workersH6466 of iniquityH205. 10Let the wickedH7563 fallH5307 into their own netsH4364, while IH3162 escapeH5674.4
