141:1 A Psalm of David. I call upon thee, O LORD;make haste to me! Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee! 141:2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice! 141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD, keep watch over the door of my lips! 141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity;and let me not eat of their dainties! 141:5 Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness, but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head;for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds. 141:6 When they are given over to those who shall condemn them, then they shall learn that the word of the LORD is true. 141:7 As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land, so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol. 141:8 But my eyes are toward thee, O LORD God;in thee I seek refuge;leave me not defenseless! 141:9 Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers! 141:10 Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, while I escape.
