| 141 | Psalms | ||
| 1 | I call upon you, O Yahweh; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice, when I call to you! | An Evening Prayer. Psalm 141(v140) | |
| 2 | Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice! | ||
| 3 | Set a guard over my mouth, O Yahweh, keep watch over the door of my lips! | ||
| 4 | Incline not my heart to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties! | ||
| 5 | Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness, but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head; for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds. | ||
| 6 | When they are given over to those who shall condemn them, then they shall learn that the word of Yahweh is true. | ||
| 7 | As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land, so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol. | ||
| 8 | But my eyes are toward you, O Yahweh God; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenceless! | ||
| 9 | Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers! | ||
| 10 | Let the wicked together fall into their nets, while I escape. | ||
