Chapter 141

1


 

  Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.  

 

 

-

7


 

  As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.  

 

 

-

8


 

  For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape. Psalm 142 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.
