< Psalms 141 >

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
psalmus David Domine clamavi ad te exaudi me intende voci meae cum clamavero ad te
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum
3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
pone Domine custodiam ori meo et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
non declines cor meum in verba malitiae ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem et non communicabo cum electis eorum
5 Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
corripiet me iustus in misericordia et increpabit me oleum autem peccatoris non inpinguet caput meum quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum
6 When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
absorti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum (Sheol h7585)
8 For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
quia ad te Domine Domine oculi mei in te speravi non auferas animam meam
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi et ab scandalis operantium iniquitatem
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal pass over.
cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores singulariter sum ego donec transeam
