The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 141. A Psalm by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you. Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies. 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. Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. “As when one ploughs 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. Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

A Psalm by David
LORD, I have called on you
Come to me quickly
Listen to my voice when I call to you
Let my prayer be set before you like incense
The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice
Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth
Keep the door of my lips
Dont incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity
Dont let me eat of their delicacies
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness
Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head
Dont let my head refuse it
Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock
They will hear my words, for they are well spoken
As when one ploughs 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
Dont leave my soul destitute
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by
