141:1  A psalm of David. O LORD, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help!
141:2  Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.
141:3  Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips.
141:4  Don't let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.
141:5  Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don't let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.
141:6  When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.
141:7  Like rocks brought up by a plow, the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.
141:8  I look to you for help, O Sovereign LORD. You are my refuge; don't let them kill me.
141:9  Keep me from the traps they have set for me, from the snares of those who do wrong.
141:10  Let the wicked fall into their own nets, but let me escape.
