141:1 A psalm of David. O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you.
141:2 May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
141:4 Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.
141:5 Let a righteous man strike me--it is a kindness; let him rebuke me--it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;
141:6 their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
141:7 They will say,"As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave."
141:8 But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge--do not give me over to death.
141:9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers.
141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
