| Chapter 141 |
1 |
A Psalm, by David. O Yehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee. |
2 |
My prayer is prepared -- incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands -- the evening present. |
3 |
Set, O Yehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips. |
4 |
Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things. |
5 |
The righteous doth beat me in kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer is about their vexations. |
6 |
Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant. |
7 |
As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. |
8 |
But to Thee, O Yehovah, my Lord, are mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul. |
9 |
Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity. |
10 |
The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over! |
