A psalm of David
141
📚LORD, I cry out to you.Come quickly✭ to me.
Give ear✭ to my voice,
when I cry out to you.
2 📚Let my prayer be set out
before you like incense✭,
and the lifting up of
my hands be like the evening
sacrifice✭.
3 📚✭Set a guard, O LORD,
over my mouth.
Keep watch over the door
of my lips.
4 📚✭Do not incline my heart to
any evil thing,
to practice wicked works
with men who are evildoers;
and do not let me eat of their
delicacies.
5 📚✭Let the righteous strike me;
it is a kindness;
and let him rebuke me;
it is an excellent oil;
my head will not refuse it.
For my prayer will still
be there in
their distresses✭.
6 📚✭When their judges are thrown
down at the cliffs,
they will hear my words;
for they are sweet.
7 📚✭Our bones are scattered at the
grave’s✭ mouth,
as when one plows and breaks up
the ground.
8 📚But my eyes are on you,
O God the Lord.
My trust is in you.
Do not leave my soul destitute.
9 📚Keep me from the snares
which they have
laid for me,
and the traps of evildoers.
10 📚✭Let the wicked fall into their
own nets, while I escape.
