Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee.
A Psalme of David. O Lord, I call vpon thee: haste thee vnto me: heare my voyce, when I cry vnto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Let my prayer be directed in thy sight as incense, and the lifting vp of mine hands as an euening sacrifice.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, to my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keepe the doore of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
Incline not mine heart to euill, that I should commit wicked workes with men that worke iniquitie: and let me not eate of their delicates.
5 Let the righteous smite me in kindness, and correct me; oil so choice let not my head refuse; for still is my prayer because of their wickedness.
Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefite: and let him reprooue me, and it shalbe a precious oyle, that shall not breake mine head: for within a while I shall euen pray in their miseries.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words, that they are sweet.
When their iudges shall be cast downe in stonie places, they shall heare my wordes, for they are sweete.
7 As when one cleaveth and breaketh up the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth. (Sheol h7585)
Our bones lye scattered at the graues mouth, as he that heweth wood or diggeth in the earth. (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord; in Thee have I taken refuge, O pour not out my soul.
But mine eyes looke vnto thee, O Lord God: in thee is my trust: leaue not my soule destitute.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Keepe me from the snare, which they haue layde for me, and from the grennes of the workers of iniquitie.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I withal escape.
Let the wicked fall into his nettes together, whiles I escape.
