AB - Psalms - 141

141:1  A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to You; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to You.

141:2  Let my prayer be set forth before You as incense; the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.

141:3  Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.

141:4  Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with men who work iniquity: and let me not unite with their choice ones.

141:5  The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.

141:6  Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.

141:7  As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the mouth of the grave.

141:8  For my eyes are upon You, O Lord God: I have hoped in You; take not my life away.

141:9  Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.

141:10  Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
