< Psalms 141 >

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee.
psalmus David Domine clamavi ad te exaudi me intende voci meae cum clamavero ad te
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
pone Domine custodiam ori meo et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis
4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
non declines cor meum in verba malitiae ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem et non communicabo cum electis eorum
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.
corripiet me iustus in misericordia et increpabit me oleum autem peccatoris non inpinguet caput meum quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
absorti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum (Sheol h7585)
8 But my eyes [are] to thee, O GOD the LORD: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
quia ad te Domine Domine oculi mei in te speravi non auferas animam meam
9 Keep me from the snare [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi et ab scandalis operantium iniquitatem
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I escape.
cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores singulariter sum ego donec transeam
