New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 141
1
O LORD, I am calling to you. Please hurry!<br>Listen when I cry to you for help!<br>
2
Accept my prayer as incense offered to you,<br>and my upraised hands as an evening offering.<br>
3
Take control of what I say, O LORD,<br>and guard my lips.<br>
4
Don’t let me drift toward evil<br>or take part in acts of wickedness.<br>Don’t let me share in the delicacies<br>of those who do wrong.<br>
5
Let the godly strike me!<br>It will be a kindness!<br>If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.<br>Don’t let me refuse it.<br> But I pray constantly<br>against the wicked and their deeds.<br>
6
When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff,<br>the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.<br>
7
Like rocks brought up by a plow,<br>the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.<br>
8
I look to you for help, O Sovereign LORD.<br>You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me.<br>
9
Keep me from the traps they have set for me,<br>from the snares of those who do wrong.<br>
10
Let the wicked fall into their own nets,<br>but let me escape.<br>
