Psalms 141
</p>
<p>
1. Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto
thee.
<br/>
2. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as
the evening sacrifice.
<br/>
<b> 3. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.</b>
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
6. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they
are sweet.
<br/>
7. Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood
upon the earth.
<br/>
8. But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul
destitute.
<br/>
9. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of
iniquity.
<br/>
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
