Psalms - Chapter 141 | American Standard Version

  • 1. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
  • 2. Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
  • 3. Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.
  • 4. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
  • 5. Let the righteous smite me, {cf15i it shall be} a kindness; And let him reprove me, {cf15i it shall be as} oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
  • 6. Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; For they are sweet.
  • 7. As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
  • 8. For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.
  • 9. Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
  • 10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape.
