141:1 A psalm of David. Lord, I call on you; hurry to help me. Listen to my voice when I call on you.
141:2 May my prayer be set before you as incense, the raising of my hands as the evening offering.
141:3 Lord, set up a guard for my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
141:4 Do not let my heart turn to any evil thing or perform wicked acts with evildoers. Do not let me feast on their delicacies.
141:5 Let the righteous one strike me— it is an act of faithful love; let him rebuke me— it is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. Even now my prayer is against the evil acts of the wicked.
141:6 When their rulers will be thrown off the sides of a cliff, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasing.
141:7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, turning up rocks, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
141:8 But my eyes look to you, Lord, my Lord. I seek refuge in you; do not let me die.
141:9 Protect me from the trap they have set for me, and from the snares of evildoers.
141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.
