PSALM 141

Lord I Cry to You


			
			01 Lord, I cry out to You;
			   Make haste to me!
			   Give ear to my voice when I cry
			   Out to You.
			02 Let my prayer be set before You
			   as incense,
			   The lifting up of my hands as
			   The evening sacrifice.
			
			03 Set a guard, O LORD, over my
			   mouth;
			   Keep watch over the door of my lips
			04 Do not incline my heart to any
			   evil thing,
			   To practice wicked works
			   With men who work iniquity;
			   And do not let me of their
			   Delicacies.
			
			05 Let the righteous strike me;
			   it shall be a kindness.
			   And let him rebuke me;
			   It shall be as excellent oil;
			   Let my head not refuse it.
			
		       For still my prayer is against the
			   Deeds of the wicked.
			06 their judges are overthrown by
			   the sides of the cliff,
			   and they hear my words, for
			   they are sweet.
			07 Our bones are scattered at the
			   mouth of the grave,
			   as when one plows and breaks 
			   up the earth.
			
			08 But my eyes are upon You,
			   O GOD the Lord;
			   In You I take refuge;
			   Do not leave my soul destitute.
			09 Keep me from the snares they
			   have laid for me,
			   and from the traps of the
			   workers  of iniquity.
			10 Let the wicked fall into their
			   own nets,
			   While I escape safely.
