Psalm 141 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

My Prayer as Incense Before You

Psa 141:1

A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, I call upon You; hasten to me!

Give ear to my voice when I call to You!

Psa 141:2

May my prayer be established as incense before You;

The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

Psa 141:3

Set a guard, O Yahweh, [fn]over my mouth;

Keep watch over the door of my lips.

Psa 141:4

Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,

To practice deeds in wickedness

With men who are workers of iniquity;

And do not let me eat of their delicacies.

Psa 141:5

Let the righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me;

It is oil upon the head;

Let not my head refuse it,

[fn]For still my prayer is [fn]against their evil deeds.

Psa 141:6

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the cliff,

And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.

Psa 141:7

As when one plows and splits open the earth,

Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Psa 141:8

For my eyes are toward You, O Yahweh, O Lord;

In You I take refuge; do not pour out my soul to death.

Psa 141:9

Keep me from the [fn]jaws of the trap which they have set for me,

And from the snares of workers of iniquity.

Psa 141:10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,

As for myself—meanwhile, I am passing by.
