Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear 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 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Kom kotin kajampwaleki ai kapakap dueta mairon ijij; o pokadan pa i kat dueta mairon eu ni jautik.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Main Ieowa, kom kotin jinjile au ai, o pera kil en au.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on 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 man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
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 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
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 soil, so our bones have been 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 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
Ari jo, maj ai kin ariri komui, Main ai Kot, i liki komui, kom der kotin kajapokela maur i.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
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 into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Me doo jan Kot akan en pein lodi on arail injar, a nai en dauli.
