< Psalms 141 >
1 Yhwh, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
A psalm of David O Yahweh I call out to you make haste! to me give ear to! voice my when call I to you.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
May it be established prayer my incense before you [the] raising of hands my an offering of evening.
3 Set a watch, O Yhwh, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
May not you turn heart my to anything - evil to practice practices - in wickedness with people [who] do wickedness and not I will eat in delicacies their.
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.
Let him strike me a righteous [person] - loyalty and let him rebuke me oil of head may not it refuse head my for still and prayer my [is] on evil deeds their.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
They have been thrown down at [the] hands of a rock judges their and they will hear words my for they are pleasant.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. (Sheol )
Like [one who] plows and [who] breaks up the earth they have been scattered bones our to [the] mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O Yhwh the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
For [are] to you - (O Yahweh *L(ah+b)*) O Lord eyes my in you I take refuge may not you lay bare life my.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Keep me from [the] hands of [the] trap [which] they have laid for me and [the] snares of [those who] do wickedness.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
