Young's Literal Translation Bible

Psalms 141

1

A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee.

2

My prayer is prepared--incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands--the evening present.

3

Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.

4

Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.

5

The righteous doth beat me in kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer is about their vexations.

6

Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.

7

As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.

8

But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, are mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.

9

Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.

10

The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
