Psalms 141:1-10 — A Prayer for Protection
Ps.141.1-10
1A psalm of David. Yahweh, I call upon you; hurry to me! Listen to my voice when I call to you. 2May my prayer be set before you like incense, the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. 3Set a guard, Yahweh, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. 4Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked deeds with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their delicacies. 5Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds. 6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the cliff-rock; then they will hear my words, that they are pleasant. 7Like one plowing and breaking up the earth, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. 8For my eyes are upon you, Yahweh, the Lord; in you I take refuge; do not leave my soul destitute. 9Keep me from the snare they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity. 10Let the wicked fall into their own nets together, while I pass by.
