141:1 (A psalm by David.) I pray to you, Lord! Please listen when I pray and hurry to help me.
141:2 Think of my prayer as sweet-smelling incense, and think of my lifted hands as an evening sacrifice.
141:3 Help me to guard my words whenever I say something.
141:4 Don't let me want to do evil or waste my time doing wrong with wicked people. Don't let me even taste the good things they offer.
141:5 Let your faithful people correct and punish me. My prayers condemn the deeds of those who do wrong, so don't let me be friends with any of them.
141:6 Everyone will admit that I was right when their rulers are thrown down a rocky cliff,
141:7 and their bones lie scattered like crushed rocks on top of a grave.
141:8 You are my Lord and God, and I look to you for safety. Don't let me be harmed.
141:9 Protect me from the traps of those violent people,
141:10 and make them fall into their own traps while you help me escape.
