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.
Adonai, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call 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 before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
Set a watch, Adonai, before my mouth. Keep the door of 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.
Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of ethical wickedness with men who work vain striving of iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
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.
Let the upright strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
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 are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will sh'ma ·hear obey· my words, for they are well spoken.
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 when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol ·Place of the dead·.” (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 my eyes are on you, Adonai, the 'Adonay [Yahweh the Lord]. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
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, from the traps of the workers of vain striving of iniquity.
10 Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
