Psalm 141

O LORD , I call to you; come to me quickly;

hear my voice when I cry to you.

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense,

the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Set a watch before my mouth, O LORD , and guard the door of my lips;

let not my heart incline to any evil thing.

Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers,

nor eat of their choice foods.

Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke; let not the oil of the unrighteous anoint my head;

for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.

Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places,

that they may know my words are true.

As when a plowman turns over the earth in furrows,

let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.

But my eyes are turned to you, Lord GOD;

in you I take refuge; do not strip me of my life.

Protect me from the snare which they have laid for me

and from the traps of the evildoers.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,

while I myself escape.
