141:1  LORD, I call to you, be quick to listen to me when I cry out!
141:2  Let my prayer be like incense offered before you, and my uplifted hands like the evening sacrifice.
141:3  LORD, set a guard over my mouth; keep watch over the door to my lips.
141:4  Don't let my heart turn toward evil or involve itself in wicked activities with men who practice iniquity. Let me not feast on their delicacies.
141:5  Let one who is righteous strike me; It is an act of gracious love. Let him rebuke me, because it is oil for my head; do not let my head refuse it. My prayers continuously will be against their wicked activities.
141:6  When their judges are thrown off the cliff, the people will hear my words, for they are appropriate.
141:7  Just as one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered near the entrance to the place of the dead.
141:8  Nevertheless, my eyes are on you, Lord GOD, as I seek protection in you. Don't leave me defenseless!
141:9  Protect me from the trap laid for me and from the snares of those who practice evil.
141:10  Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I come through.
