Chapter 141
Psal Noyes 141:1  I cry to thee, O LORD! make haste unto me! Give ear to my voice, when I cry unto thee!
Psal Noyes 141:2  Let my prayer come before thee as incense, And the lifting-up of my hands, as the evening sacrifice!
Psal Noyes 141:3  Set a watch, O LORD! before my mouth; Guard the door of my lips!
Psal Noyes 141:4  Let not my heart incline to any evil thing; Let me not practise wickedness with the doers of iniquity, And let me not eat of their delicacies!
Psal Noyes 141:5  Let the righteous smite me,—it shall be a kindness; Let him reprove me, and it shall be oil for my head; Let him do it again, and my head shall not refuse it; But now I pray against their wickedness!
Psal Noyes 141:6  When their judges are hurled over the side of the rock, They shall hear how pleasant are my words.
Psal Noyes 141:7  So are our bones scattered at the mouth of the underworld, As when one furroweth and ploweth up the land.
Psal Noyes 141:8  But to thee do my eyes look, O Lord Jehovah! In thee is my trust; Let not my life be poured out!
Psal Noyes 141:9  Preserve me from the snares which they have laid for me, And from the nets of evil-doers!
Psal Noyes 141:10  Let the wicked fall together into their own traps, Whilst I make my escape!
