Psalms 141
141
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.

Tehillim 141
141
(Mizmor of Dovid)
1 Hashem, I cry unto Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.
2Let my tefillah be set forth before Thee like ketoret; and the lifting up of my hands as the minchat erev.
3Be shomer, Hashem, over my mouth; guard the door of my lips.
4Let not my lev incline to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
5Let the tzaddik strike me; it shall be chesed; and let him reprove me; it shall be shemen, which my rosh shall not refuse; for still shall my tefillah be against their evil deeds.
6Their shofetim are overthrown in stony places; they hear my words; for they are pleasant.
7Atzameinu (our bones) are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon ha'aretz.
8But mine eyes are unto Thee, Hashem Adonoi; in Thee do I take refuge; leave not my nefesh defenseless.
9Keep me from the pach (snare, trap) which they have laid for me, and the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10Let the resha'im fall into their own nets, while I escape safely.
