Psm141:1 {A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
Psm141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
Psm141:3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Psm141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
Psm141:5 Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
Psm141:6 When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Psm141:7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
Psm141:8 For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
Psm141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
Psm141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that *I* withal pass over.
