Psalms 141
141
PSALM 141.
1Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave#1 Kings 24..
2I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
3In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:
4When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths. In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.
5I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.
6I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.

Psalm 141
141
Give Ear to My Voice
A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, I call upon you; #Ps. 40:13; 70:5hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
2Let #Luke 1:10; Rev. 5:8; 8:3, 4 my prayer be counted as incense before you,
and #See Ps. 28:2 the lifting up of my hands as #See Ex. 29:41the evening sacrifice!
3 #
Ps. 34:13 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
#
Mic. 7:5
keep watch over the door of my lips!
4 #
Ps. 119:36 Do not let my heart incline to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with men who #ver. 9; Ps. 94:4 work iniquity,
and #Prov. 23:6let me not eat of their delicacies!
5 # [Prov. 9:8; 19:25; 25:12; 27:6; Eccles. 7:5] 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 #[Ps. 109:4]my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6When their judges are #2 Chr. 25:12; [Luke 4:29]thrown over the cliff,#141:6 Or When their judges fall into the hands of the Rock
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
so shall our bones #Ps. 53:5; [Ezek. 37:1]be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.#141:7 The meaning of the Hebrew in verses 6, 7 is uncertain
8But #Ps. 25:15 my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;
# See Ps. 11:1 in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!#141:8 Hebrew refuge; do not pour out my life!
9Keep me from #See Ps. 140:5the trap that they have laid for me
and from the snares of evildoers!
10Let the wicked #[Ps. 7:15]fall into their own nets,
while I pass by safely.
