Chapter 141

1


 

  A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.  

 

 

-

2


 

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

 

 

-

3


 

  Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

6


 

  When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.  

 

 

-

8


 

  But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
