141:1 A psalm of David. O Lord, I call to you; come quickly to my aid; listen to my plea when I call out to you.
141:2 May my prayer be like incense before you, the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
141:4 Do not permit my heart to be drawn to evil, or to the pursuit of wicked deeds in the company of those who do evil; let me not share in their corruption.
141:5 If a righteous man strikes me, I regard it as kindness; if he rebukes me, it is oil on my head. But never let the oil of the wicked anoint my head, for my prayer is always opposed to their evil deeds.
141:6 When their leaders are flung down in stony places, they will learn that my prayers were heard.
141:7 As the soil is shattered when the ground is plowed, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of the netherworld.
141:8 But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God; in you I seek refuge; do not take my life away.
141:9 Keep me safe from the traps they have laid for me, from the snares of evildoers.
141:10 Let the wicked tumble into their own nets all together while I pass by unharmed.
