141:1 I call to you, Lord; help me now! Listen to me when I call to you.
141:2 Receive my prayer as incense, my uplifted hands as an evening sacrifice.
141:3 Lord, place a guard at my mouth, a sentry at the door of my lips.
141:4 Keep me from wanting to do wrong and from joining evil people in their wickedness. May I never take part in their feasts.
141:5 Good people may punish me and rebuke me in kindness, but I will never accept honor from evil people, because I am always praying against their evil deeds.
141:6 When their rulers are thrown down from rocky cliffs, the people will admit that my words were true.
141:7 Like wood that is split and chopped into bits, so their bones are scattered at the edge of the grave.
141:8 But I keep trusting in you, my Sovereign Lord. I seek your protection; don't let me die!
141:9 Protect me from the traps they have set for me, from the snares of those evildoers.
141:10 May the wicked fall into their own traps while I go by unharmed.
