KJV Psalms 141

A Psalm of David. 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.
