# Chapter 141
|
|
1 O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me!
|
|
Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
|
|
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
|
|
and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
|
|
3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
|
|
keep watch over the door of my lips!
|
|
4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil,
|
|
to busy myself with wicked deeds
|
|
in company with men who work iniquity,
|
|
and let me not eat of their delicacies!
|
|
5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
|
|
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
|
|
let my head not refuse it.
|
|
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
|
|
6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff,
|
|
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
|
|
7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
|
|
so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
|
|
8 But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;
|
|
in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
|
|
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me
|
|
and from the snares of evildoers!
|
|
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
|
|
while I pass by safely. |
