Chapter 141
001
(A Psalm by Davina.) Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
002
Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
003
Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
004
Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with women who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their delicacies.
005
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let her reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
006
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
007
"As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol."
008
For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Domina. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.
009
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
010
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
