141:1 A psalm of David: Adonai, I have called you; come to me quickly! Listen to my plea when I call to you.
141:2 Let my prayer be like incense set before you, my uplifted hands like an evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a guard, Adonai, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
141:4 Don’t let my heart turn to anything evil or allow me to act wickedly with men who are evildoers; keep me from eating their delicacies.
141:5 Let the righteous strike me, let him correct me; it will be an act of love. Let my head not refuse such choice oil, for I will keep on praying about their wickedness.
141:6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliff, [the wicked] will hear that my words were fitting.
141:7 As when one plows and breaks the ground into clods, our bones are strewn at the mouth of Sh’ol.
141:8 For my eyes, Adonai, Adonai, are on you; in you I take refuge; don’t pour out my life.
141:9 Keep me from the trap they have set for me, from the snares of evildoers.
141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
