141:1 1 David being grievously persecuted under Saul, only fleeth unto God to have succor. 3 Desiring him to bridle his affections, that he may patiently abide till God take vengeance of his enemies. A Psalm of David. O Lord, I call upon thee: haste thee unto me: hear my voice, when I cry unto thee.
141:2 Let my prayer be directed in thy sight as incense, and the lifting up of mine hands as an evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keep the door of my lips.
141:4 Incline not mine heart to evil, that I should commit wicked works with them that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their delicates.
141:5 Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefit: and let him reprove me, and it shall be a precious oil that shall not break mine head: for within a while I shall even pray in their miseries.
141:6 When their judges shall be cast down in stony places, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
141:7 Our bones lie scattered at the grave’s mouth, as he that heweth wood or diggeth in the earth.
141:8 But mine eyes look unto thee, O Lord God: in thee is my trust: leave not my soul destitute.
141:9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
141:10 Let the wicked fall into his nets together, while I escape.
