Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.141
[1] LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear
unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
[2] Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and
the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
[3] Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of
my lips.
[4] Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise
wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of
their dainties.
[5] Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness:
and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall
not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their
calamities.
[6] When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they
shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
[7] Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when
one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
[8] But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee
is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
[9] Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me,
and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
[10] Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that
I withal escape.
