Psalm 141

Psalm 141 - Versions
Psalm 141 Text (WEB) Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you. Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. 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. 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. Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute. Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by. A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
Psalm 141 Text (Hebrew) מזמור לדוד יהוה קראתיך חושה לי האזינה קולי בקראי־לך׃ תכון תפלתי קטרת לפניך משאת כפי מנחת־ערב׃ שיתה יהוה שמרה לפי נצרה על־דל שפתי׃ אל־תט־לבי לדבר רע להתעולל עללות ברשע את־אישים פעלי־און ובל־אלחם במנעמיהם׃ יהלמני־צדיק חסד ויוכיחני שמן ראש אל־יני ראשי כי־עוד ותפלתי ברעותיהם׃ נשמטו בידי־סלע שפטיהם ושמעו אמרי כי נעמו׃ כמו פלח ובקע בארץ נפזרו עצמינו לפי שאול׃ כי אליך יהוה אדני עיני בכה חסיתי אל־תער נפשי׃ שמרני מידי פח יקשו לי ומקשות פעלי און׃ יפלו במכמריו רשעים יחד אנכי עד־אעבור׃

Psalm 141 Text (Latin) Psalmus David. Domine, clamavi ad te, exaudi me ; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te. Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo ; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum. Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis. Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis ; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem ; et non communicabo cum electis eorum. Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me : oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum, quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum. Absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum ; audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt. Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram ; dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum. Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei ; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam. Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem. Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores : singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.
Psalm 141 Text (KJV) LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
