Psa 141:1
A Psalm of David.
O Yahweh H3068, I call H7121 upon You; hasten H2363 to me!
Give H238 ear H238 to my voice H6963 when I call H7121 to You!
Psa 141:2
May my prayer H8605 be established H3559 as incense H7004 before H6440 You;
The lifting H4864 up of my hands H3709 as the evening H6153 offering H4503.
Psa 141:3
Set H7896 a guard H8108, O Yahweh H3068, [fn]over my mouth H6310;
Keep H5341 watch H5341 over H5921 the door H1800 of my lips H8193.
Psa 141:4
Do not incline H5186 my heart H3820 to any evil H7451 thing H1697,
To practice H5953 deeds H5953 in wickedness H7562
With men H376 who are workers H6466 of iniquity H205;
And do not let me eat H3898 of their delicacies H4516.
Psa 141:5
Let the righteous H6662 smite H1986 me in lovingkindness H2617 and reprove H3198 me;
It is oil H8081 upon the head H7218;
Let not my head H7218 refuse H5106 it,
[fn]For still H5750 my prayer H8605 is [fn]against their evil H7451 deeds H7451.
Psa 141:6
Their judges H8199 are thrown H8058 down H8058 by the sides H3027 of the cliff H5553,
And they hear H8085 my words H561, for they are H5276 pleasant H5276.
Psa 141:7
As when one plows H6398 and splits H1234 open H1234 the earth H776,
Our bones H6106 have been scattered H6340 at the mouth H6310 of Sheol H7585.
Psa 141:8
For my eyes H5869 are toward H413 You, O Yahweh H3068, O Lord H136;
In You I take H2620 refuge H2620; do not pour H6168 out H6168 my H589 soul H5315 to death.
Psa 141:9
Keep H8104 me from the [fn]jaws H3027 of the trap H6341 which they have set H3369 for me,
And from the snares H4170 of workers H6466 of iniquity H205.
Psa 141:10
Let the wicked H7563 fall H5307 into their own nets H4364,
As for myself H3162 H595—meanwhile, I am passing H5674 by H5674.
