Psalm 141
1 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my
voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the
lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works
with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him
reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet
my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear
my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth
and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust;
leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins
of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal
escape.
