Psalm 141

LORD, I call to you;
come quickly to me.
Hear my voice when I call to you. Let my prayer be set before you like incense, the lifting of my hands like the evening offering. Set a guard over my mouth, LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not incline my heart toward anything evil, to practice wicked deeds with those who do wrong;
do not let me eat their delicacies. Let a righteous man strike me—it is kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head.
Let my head not refuse it, for my prayer is still against their evil deeds. When their judges are thrown down the sides of the cliff, they will hear my words, for they are pleasant. As when the ground is plowed and broken up, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. But my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord;
in you I take refuge.
Do not pour out my life. Keep me from the trap they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers. Let the wicked fall into his nets while I pass on.
