Psalm Ps. 141. This is an individual lament, a prayer that God will protect the faithful person against all insincerity and compromise.
Ps. 141:1–2 The singer asks God to give ear to my voice when I call to you! His prayer is compared to incense and the evening sacrifice, acts performed in worship.
Ps. 141:3–5 The singer may be tempted to avoid danger by joining the men who work iniquity; he asks God to help him avoid all such temptation. This prayer reveals great insight into how a person in such circumstances would actually feel.
Ps. 141:6–7 As the esv footnote explains, the Hebrew here is difficult. The main point is that eventually God will bring his judgment upon the judges. Then the faithful person will be vindicated, and the unfaithful might even learn wisdom.
Ps. 141:8–10 The prayer that God would keep me from falling prey to their schemes becomes a prayer that the wicked would fall into their own nets.
