Ps 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.
2
Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; the lifting up of my hands as an
evening sacrifice.
3
Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a Lit. a door of fortification strong door about by lips.
4
Incline not my heart to evil things, to Gr. pretend pretences employ pretexts Gr. in for sins, with men who work iniquity:
and Gr. I will not let me not unite with their choice ones.
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 q. d. lest I be injured by them pleasures.
6
Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words,
for they are sweet.
7
As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the
mouth of the grave.
8
For mine eyes are to you, O Lord God: I have hoped in you; take not away my life.
9
Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of
them that work iniquity.
10
Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
