Psalms Chapter 141

• 1 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.
