Глава 141

1. ¶ LORD, I cry to thee; make haste to answer me; give ear to my words and accept them.
2. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the gift of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips,
4. So that my heart may not incline to evil things, and practise wicked works with men who work iniquity; let me not eat salt with them.
5. ¶ Let the righteous teach me and reprove me; let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head since my prayer has been against their evils.
6. When their judges are stopped by a strong hand, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7. Like the ploughshare that scatters the earth, let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.
8. I have lifted up mine eyes to thee, O LORD; I have trusted in thee; do not reject my soul.
9. Keep me from the hand of the proud, for they have set traps for me.
10. Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, whilst I shall pass over.
