141:1
A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. LORD[H3068], I cry[H7121] unto thee: make haste[H2363] unto me; give ear[H238] unto my voice[H6963], when I cry unto thee.
141:2
Let my prayer[H8605] be set forth[H3559] before[H6440] thee as incense[H7004]; and the lifting up[H4864] of my hands[H3709] as the evening[H6153] sacrifice[H4503].
141:3
Set[H7896] a watch[H8108], O LORD[H3068], before my mouth[H6310]; keep[H5341] the door[H1817] of my lips[H8193].
141:4
Incline[H5186] not my heart[H3820] to any evil[H7451] thing[H1697], to practise[H5953] wicked[H7562] works[H5949] with men[H376] that work[H6466] iniquity[H205]: and let me not eat[H3898] of their dainties[H4516].
141:5
Let the righteous[H6662] smite[H1986] me; it shall be a kindness[H2617]: and let him reprove[H3198] me; it shall be an excellent[H7218] oil[H8081], which shall not break[H5106] my head[H7218]: for yet my prayer[H8605] also shall be in their calamities[H7451].
141:6
When their judges[H8199] are overthrown[H8058] in stony[H5553] places[H3027], they shall hear[H8085] my words[H561]; for they are sweet[H5276].
141:7
Our bones[H6106] are scattered[H6340] at the grave's[H7585] mouth[H6310], as when one cutteth[H6398] and cleaveth[H1234] wood upon the earth[H776].
141:8
But mine eyes[H5869] are unto thee, O GOD[H3069] the Lord[H136]: in thee is my trust[H2620]; leave[H6168] not my soul[H5315] destitute[H6168].
141:9
Keep[H8104] me from the snares[H3027] which they have laid[H3369] for me, and the gins[H4170] of the workers[H6466] of iniquity[H205].
141:10
Let the wicked[H7563] fall[H5307] into their own nets[H4364], whilst that I withal[H3162] escape[H5674].
