141:1 (Mizmor of Dovid) Hashem, I cry unto Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.
141:2 Let my tefillah be set forth before Thee like ketoret; and the lifting up of my hands as the minchat erev.
141:3 Be shomer, Hashem, over my mouth; guard the door of my lips.
141:4 Let not my lev incline to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
141:5 Let the tzaddik strike me; it shall be chesed; and let him reprove me; it shall be shemen, which my rosh shall not refuse; for still shall my tefillah be against their evil deeds.
141:6 Their shofetim are overthrown in stony places; they hear my words; for they are pleasant.
141:7 Atzameinu (our bones) are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon ha’aretz.
141:8 But mine eyes are unto Thee, Hashem Adonoi; in Thee do I take refuge; leave not my nefesh defenseless.
141:9 Keep me from the pach (snare, trap) which they have laid for me, and the traps of the workers of iniquity.
141:10 Let the resha’im fall into their own nets, while I escape safely.
