Psalm 141
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. O LORD, I am calling to you. Please hurry!
|
|
|
|
Listen when I cry to you for help!
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Accept my prayer as incense offered to you,
|
|
|
|
and my upraised hands as an evening offering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Take control of what I say, O LORD,
|
|
|
|
and guard my lips.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Don't let me drift toward evil
|
|
|
|
or take part in acts of wickedness.
|
|
|
|
Don't let me share in the delicacies
|
|
|
|
of those who do wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Let the godly strike me!
|
|
|
|
It will be a kindness!
|
|
If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.
|
|
|
|
Don't let me refuse it.
|
|
|
|
But I pray constantly
|
|
|
|
against the wicked and their deeds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff,
|
|
|
|
the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Like rocks brought up by a plow,
|
|
the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.
|
|
|
|
8. I look to you for help, O Sovereign LORD.
|
|
|
|
You are my refuge; don't let them kill me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Keep me from the traps they have set for me,
|
|
from the snares
|
|
of those who do wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
|
|
|
|
but let me escape.
