< Psalms 141 >
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.
2 My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.
3 Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.
5 The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.
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. (Sheol )
8 But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.
9 Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
10 The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!
