Chapter 141

1

 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 


2

 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice. 


3

 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 


4

 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 


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. 


6

 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 


7

 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. 


8

 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. 


9

 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. 


10

 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
