Psalms, Psalm 141

O LORD, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to You!

May my prayer be^acounted as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

Set a guard, O LORD,^bover my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.

⁴

Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds^cof wickedness
With men who do iniquity;
And do not let me eat of their delicacies.

⁵

Let the righteous smite me^din kindness and reprove me;
It is oil upon the head;
Do not let my head refuse it,
^eFor still my prayer is^fagainst their wicked deeds.

⁶

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.

⁷

As when one plows and breaks open the earth,
Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of^gSheol.

⁸

For my eyes are toward You, O^hGOD, the Lord;
In You I take refuge; do notⁱleave me defenseless.

⁹

Keep me from the^jjaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the snares of those who do iniquity.

¹⁰

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
While I pass by^ksafely.
