141:1 [A Psalm of David]. O Lord, I call upon Thee; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee! 141:2 May my prayer be counted as incense before Thee; 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 is oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds. 141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant. 141:7 As when one plows and breaks open the earth, Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. 141:8 For my eyes are toward Thee, O God, the Lord; In Thee 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.
