A Psalm by David.

141:1 Yahweh, I have called on you.

Come to me quickly!

Listen to my voice when I call to you.

141:2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense;

the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

141:3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth.

Keep the door of my lips.

141:4 Don't incline my heart to any evil thing,

to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.

Don't let me eat of their delicacies.

141:5 Let the righteous 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.

141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock.

They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

141:7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth,

our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol."

141:8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord.

In you, I take refuge.

Don't leave my soul destitute.

141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,

from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

141:10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets,

while I pass by.
