141:1 Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

141:2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

141:3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

141:4 Don`t incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don`t let me eat of their delicacies.

141:5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; Don`t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

141:7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol."

141:8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don`t leave my soul destitute.

141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, From the traps of the workers of iniquity.
