Psalms 141
1 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.
Psalmus David. Domine clamavi ad te, exaudi me: intende voci meae, cum clamavero ad te.
2 My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.
Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo: elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
Pone Domine custodiam ori meo: et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis.
4 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
Non declines cor meum in verba malitiae, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis. Cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem: et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
5 The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.
Corripiet me iustus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
absorpti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum. Audient verba mea quoniam potuerunt:
7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram. Dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum: (Sheol h7585)
8 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
quia ad te Domine, Domine oculi mei: in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
9 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
Custodi me a laqueo, quem statuerunt mihi: et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
10 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
Cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores: singulariter sum ego donec transeam.
