| | 141:1 | Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. |
| | 141:2 | Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. |
| | 141:3 | Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. |
| | 141:4 | 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. |
| | 141:5 | 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. |
| | 141:6 | When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. |
| | 141:7 | Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. |
| | 141:8 | But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. |
| | 141:9 | Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. |
| | 141:10 | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. |
