Psa 141:1A Psalm of David. I call upon thee, O LORD; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!
Psa 141:2Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
Psa 141:3Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD, keep watch over the door of my lips!
Psa 141:4Incline 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!
Psa 141:5Let 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.
Psa 141:6When they are given over to those who shall condemn them, then they shall learn that the word of the LORD is true.
Psa 141:7As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land, so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

Psa 141:9Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers!
Psa 141:10Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, while I escape.
