1 [[A Psalm H4210 of David.]] H1732 LORD, H3068 I cry H7121 unto thee: make haste H2363 unto me; give ear H238 unto my voice, H6963 when I cry H7121 unto thee.
2 Let my prayer H8605 be set forth H3559 before H6440 thee as incense; H7004 and the lifting up H4864 of my hands H3709 as the evening H6153 sacrifice. H4503
3 Set H7896 a watch, H8108 O LORD, H3068 before my mouth; H6310 keep H5341 the door H1817 of my lips. H8193
4 Incline H5186 not my heart H3820 to any evil H7451 thing, H1697 to practise H5953 wicked H7562 works H5949 with men H376 that work H6466 iniquity: H205 and let me not eat H3898 of their dainties. H4516
5 Let the righteous H6662 smite H1986 me; it shall be a kindness: H2617 and let him reprove H3198 me; it shall be an excellent H7218 oil, H8081 which shall not break H5106 my head: H7218 for yet my prayer H8605 also shall be in their calamities. H7451
6 When their judges H8199 are overthrown H8058 in stony H5553 places, H3027 they shall hear H8085 my words; H561 for they are sweet. H5276
7 Our bones H6106 are scattered H6340 at the grave's H7585 mouth, H6310 as when one cutteth H6398 and cleaveth H1234 wood upon the earth. H776
8 But mine eyes H5869 are unto thee, O GOD H3069 the Lord: H136 in thee is my trust; H2620 leave H6168 not my soul H5315 destitute. H6168
9 Keep H8104 me from the snares H3027 H6341 which they have laid H3369 for me, and the gins H4170 of the workers H6466 of iniquity. H205
10 Let the wicked H7563 fall H5307 into their own nets, H4364 whilst that I withal H3162 escape. H5674

PSALM 141
Ps 141:1-10. This Psalm evinces its authorship as the preceding, by its structure and the character of its contents. It is a prayer for deliverance from sins to which affliction tempted him, and from the enemies who caused it.
