Psalms 141
141
A Psalm of David.
1Lord, I cry unto You; make haste to me;
give ear to my voice, when I cry unto You.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Let my prayer be set forth before You as incense,
and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil,
to practice wicked deeds
with men who do iniquity,
and do not let me eat of their delights.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Let the righteous man strike me;
it shall be a kindness.
Let him rebuke me;
it shall be oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
For my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 When their judges are thrown to stony places,
then they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 As when one plows to break up the land,
so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 But my eyes are unto You, O God my Lord,
in You is my trust; do not leave my soul defenseless.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 Keep me from the snares that they have laid for me,
and the traps of those who do iniquity.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by and escape.

Psalms 141

A Prayer Not to Sin
A psalm of David.
1Lord, I call to you. Come quickly.
Listen to me when I call to you.
2Let my prayer be like incense placed before you,
and my praise like the evening sacrifice.
3Lord, help me control my tongue;
help me be careful about what I say.
4Take away my desire to do evil
or to join others in doing wrong.
Don’t let me eat tasty food
with those who do evil.
5If a good person punished me, that would be kind.
If he corrected me, that would be like perfumed oil on my head.
I shouldn’t refuse it.
But I pray against those who do evil.
6Let their leaders be thrown down the cliffs.
Then people will know that I have spoken correctly:
7“The ground is plowed and broken up.
In the same way, our bones have been scattered at the grave.”
8God, I look to you for help.
I trust in you, Lord. Don’t let me die.
9Protect me from the traps they set for me
and from the net that evil people have spread.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
but let me pass by safely.
