Psalms Chapter 141
A Psalm of David
1 LORD, I’m calling on you; come quick;
hear me out.
2 Consider my prayer as incense
and the raising of my hands as an evening offering.
3 Guard my mouth;
watch over my lips.
4 Incline my heart away from anything evil,
from practicing sinful things with sinners.
Ps 141:1-4
5 Let a godly person strike me or rebuke me graciously;
that would be ointment for my head;
Don’t let me refuse it.
I still pray constantly against the deeds of sinners.
6 When their leaders are thrown over the cliffs;
they’ll learn that the LORD’s word is true.
7 “Like someone plowing up rocks,
our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”
8 I look to you, Lord GOD,
and take refuge in you; don’t leave me with no defense.
9 Keep me from the jaws of the trap they’ve set for me,
from sinners’ snares;
10may they stumble into their own nets
while I go on by safely.
Ps 141:5-10
