^141:1 Jehovah, I have called upon you. Make haste to me. Listen to my voice when I call to you.^141:2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before you, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

    ^141:3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. ^141:4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work wickedness. And do not let me eat of their dainties.

    ^141:5 Let a righteous man strike me, as a kindness. And let him reprove me, as oil upon the head. Do not let my head disallow it. Because my prayer will continue even in their wickedness.

    ^141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. And they will hear my words, because they are sweet. ^141:7 Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. ^141:8Because my eyes are to you, O Jehovah the Lord. I take refuge in you. Do not leave my soul destitute.

    ^141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me and from the traps of the workers of wickedness. ^141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass over.
