Psalms 141
An Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.
A Psalm of David.
1 Lord, I call upon You; ahurry to me!
bListen to my voice when I call to You!
2 May my prayer be ▼
▼Lit fixed
counted as dincense before You; The eraising of my hands as the fevening offering.
3 Set a gguard, Lord, ▼
▼Lit to
over my mouth; Keep watch over the idoor of my lips.
4 jDo not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds ▼
▼Lit in
of wickedness With people who ldo wrong;
And mmay I not taste their delicacies.
5 May the nrighteous strike me with mercy and discipline me;
It is ooil for the head;
My head shall not refuse it,
For my prayer pis still against their evil deeds.
6 Their judges are qthrown down by the sides of the rock,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7 As when one rplows and breaks open the earth,
Our sbones have been scattered at the tmouth of ▼
▼I.e., the netherworld
Sheol. 8 For my veyes are toward You, ▼
▼Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord
God, the Lord; In You I xtake refuge; ydo not ▼
▼Lit pour out my soul
leave me defenseless. 9 Keep me from the ▼
▼Lit hands of the trap
,
abjaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the acsnares of those who do wrong.
10 May the wicked adfall into their own nets,
While I pass by ▼
▼Lit altogether
,
afsafely.
