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.

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.

and the traps of those who do iniquity.

An Evening Prayer#Ps 141 Hebrew title: A psalm by David.
1I call to you, LORD; help me now!
Listen to me when I call to you.
2 #
Rev 5.8
Receive my prayer as incense,
my uplifted hands as an evening sacrifice.
3 LORD, place a guard at my mouth,
a sentry at the door of my lips.
4Keep me from wanting to do wrong
and from joining evil people in their wickedness.
May I never take part in their feasts.
5Good people may punish me and rebuke me in kindness,
but I will never accept honour from evil people,
because I am always praying against their evil deeds.
6When their rulers are thrown down from rocky cliffs,
the people will admit that my words were true.
7Like wood that is split and chopped into bits,
so their bones are scattered at the edge of the grave.#141.7 Verses 5–7 in Hebrew are unclear.
8But I keep trusting in you, my Sovereign LORD.
I seek your protection;
don't let me die!
9Protect me from the traps they have set for me,
from the snares of those evildoers.
10May the wicked fall into their own traps
while I go by unharmed.
