CHAPTER 141

A Psalm

of David.

I call upon You,

O LORD;

come quickly

to me.

Hear

my voice

when I call

to You.

May my prayer

be set

before You

like incense,

my uplifted

hands

like the evening

offering.

Set

a guard,

O LORD,

over my mouth;

keep watch

at

the door

of my lips.

Do not let

my heart

be drawn

to any evil

thing

or take part

in works

of wickedness

with

men

who do

iniquity;

let me not

feast

on their delicacies.

Let the righteous man

strike me;

let his rebuke

be an act of loving devotion.

It is oil

for my head;

let me not

refuse it.

For

my prayer is ever against

the deeds of the wicked.

When their rulers

are thrown

from

the cliffs,

the people will listen

to my words,

for

they are pleasant.

As when

one plows

and breaks up

the soil,

so our bones

have been scattered

at the mouth

of Sheol.

But

my eyes

are fixed on You,

O GOD,

the Lord.

In You

I seek refuge;

do not

leave

my soul defenseless.

Keep

me from

the snares

they have laid for me,

and from the lures

of the evildoers.

Let the wicked

fall

into their own nets,

while

I

pass by in safety.
