Psalms 141 Bible text
Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; And let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”
For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.
