LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste
unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
141:2
Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and]
the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
141:3
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my
lips.
141:4
Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practise
wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of
their dainties.
141:5
Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and
let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which]
shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in
their calamities.
141:6
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they
shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
141:7
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one
cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
141:8
But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is
my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
141:9
Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and
the gins of the workers of iniquity.
141:10
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I
withal escape.
