141:1 A Psalm of David. I call upon thee, O Lord; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!
141:2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips!
141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties!
141:5 Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness, but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head; for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.
141:6 When they are given over to those who shall condemn them, then they shall learn that the word of the Lord is true.
141:7 As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land, so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.
141:8 But my eyes are toward thee, O Lord God; in thee I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
141:9 Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers!
141:10 Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, while I escape.
