PS-141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste

unto me; give ear

unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

PS-141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense;

[and] the

lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

PS-141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of

my lips.

PS-141:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice

wicked works

with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their

dainties.

PS-141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness:

and let him

reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not

break my head:

for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.

PS-141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they

shall hear my

words; for they are sweet.

PS-141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when

one cutteth and

cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.

PS-141:8 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee

is my trust;

leave not my soul destitute.

PS-141:9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me,

and the gins

of the workers of iniquity.

PS-141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I

withal

escape.
