Psalm 141 - King James Version (Oxford) 1769

¹ LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; Give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

² Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; And the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

³ Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

⁴ 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.

⁵ 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.

⁶ When their judges are overthrown in stony places, They shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

⁷ Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, As when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

⁸ But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: In thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

⁹ Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
