< Psalms 141 >

1 A Psalm by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
MAIN leowa, i kin likwir won komui, kom kotin madan don ia; kom kotin ereki nil ai, ni ai pan likwir won komui.
2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
Kom kotin kajampwaleki ai kapakap dueta mairon ijij; o pokadan pa i kat dueta mairon eu ni jautik.
3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
Main Ieowa, kom kotin jinjile au ai, o pera kil en au.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.
O der kotin kainon on me jued kot monion i, pwe i ender ian me doo jan Kol, akan wiada me jued, o i ender ian ir kankan, me re kin iauki.
5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
Me pun amen en kame ia ni a kadek, o kapun ia, pwe iei me pan mau on ia dueta le on mon ai, mepukat i jota pan kan, o i kin kapakap anjau karoj, pwe ren der wiai on ia me jued.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
Kalua parail en pijikendi jan pon paip; irail ap pan duki on ai padak o aja, me ir me mau.
7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol (Sheol h7585)."
Duen amen pan wera pajan jap, iduen ti’t akan, melokidokila ni kailan wajan mela. (Sheol h7585)
8 For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Do not leave my soul destitute.
Ari jo, maj ai kin ariri komui, Main ai Kot, i liki komui, kom der kotin kajapokela maur i.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
Pera wei jan ia injar, me re kaonop on ia, o jon en men kol ia di ren me morjued akan.
10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.
Me doo jan Kot akan en pein lodi on arail injar, a nai en dauli.
