Psalm 141Protection from Sin and Sinners
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, I call on you; hurry to help me.
|
|
Listen to my voice when I call on you.
|
|
|
|
2. May my prayer be set before you as incense,
|
|
the raising of my hands as the evening offering.
|
|
|
|
3. Lord, set up a guard for my mouth;
|
|
keep watch at the door of my lips.
|
|
|
|
4. Do not let my heart turn to any evil thing
|
|
or perform wicked acts with evildoers.
|
|
Do not let me feast on their delicacies.
|
|
|
|
5. Let the righteous one strike me--
|
|
it is an act of faithful love;
|
|
let him rebuke me--
|
|
it is oil for my head;
|
|
let me not refuse it.
|
|
|
|
Even now my prayer is against
|
|
the evil acts of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
6. When their rulers will be thrown off
|
|
the sides of a cliff,
|
|
the people will listen to my words,
|
|
for they are pleasing.
|
|
|
|
7. As when one plows and breaks up the soil,
|
|
turning up rocks,
|
|
so our bones have been scattered
|
|
at the mouth of Sheol.
|
|
|
|
8. But my eyes look to you, Lord, my Lord.
|
|
I seek refuge in you; do not let me die.
|
|
|
|
9. Protect me from the trap they have set for me,
|
|
and from the snares of evildoers.
|
|
|
|
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
|
|
while I pass by safely.
