< Psalms 141 >
1 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.
I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
2 May it be established prayer my incense before you [the] raising of hands my an offering of evening.
Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
3 Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
4 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.
Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
5 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.
The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
6 They have been thrown down at [the] hands of a rock judges their and they will hear words my for they are pleasant.
Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
7 Like [one who] plows and [who] breaks up the earth they have been scattered bones our to [the] mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol )
8 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.
But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
9 Keep me from [the] hands of [the] trap [which] they have laid for me and [the] snares of [those who] do wickedness.
Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
10 Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
