Psalm
141
An
Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.
1 O
Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give
ear to my voice when I call to You!
2
May
my prayer be counted as incense before You;
The
lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
3
Set
a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep
watch over the door of my lips.
4
Do
not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To
practice deeds of wickedness
With
men who do iniquity;
And
do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5
Let
the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me;
It
is oil upon the head;
Do
not let my head refuse it,
For
still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.
6
Their
judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock,
And
they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7
As
when one plows and breaks open the earth,
Our
bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8
For
my eyes are toward You, O God, the Lord;
In
You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.
9
Keep
me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And
from the snares of those who do iniquity.
10
Let
the wicked fall into their own nets,
While
I pass by safely.
