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.
A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to you; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to you.
2 May it be established prayer my incense before you [the] raising of hands my an offering of evening.
Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
3 Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by 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 things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
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 righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
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 mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Like [one who] plows and [who] breaks up the earth they have been scattered bones our to [the] mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
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.
For mine eyes are to you, O Lord God: I have hoped in you; take not away my life.
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 set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
10 Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
