KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 141
David prays that his suit may be acceptable, his conscience sincere, and his conversation holy.
1A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, I cry to You; hasten to me; give ear to my voice when I cry to You.
2Let my prayer be established before You as incense; the lifting up of my palms as the evening sacrifice.
3O Jehovah, set a guard to my mouth; keep watch on the door of my lips.
4Do not let my heart turn aside to any evil thing, to thrust out deeds in wickedness with men who do iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5Let the righteous one strike me; it is a mercy; and he rebuking me, it is oil of the head, let not my head refuse it; for yet my prayer also shall be against their evils.
6Their judges have been cast down against the sides of the rock; they shall hear my words for they are pleasant.
7As when one plows and tears the earth, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8But my eyes are on You, O Jehovah, my Lord; in You I take refuge; do not make my soul bare.
9Keep me from the hands of the trap they laid for me, and from the snares of the workers of evil.
10Let the wicked ones fall into their own nets at the same time; I even shall pass by.
