The One Hundred Forty First Psalm
Domine, clamavi.
LORD, I call upon thee; haste thee unto me, * and consider my voice, when I cry unto thee.
Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incense; * and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth, * and keep the door of my lips.
O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing; * let me not be occupied in ungodly works with the men that work wickedness, neither let me eat of such things as please them.
vs 5 Let the righteous rather smite me friendly, and reprove me; * yea, let not my head refuse their precious balms.
As for the ungodly, * I will pray yet against their wickedness.
Let their judges be overthrown in stony places, * that they may hear my words; for they are sweet.
Our bones lie scattered before the pit, * like as when one breaketh and heweth wood upon the earth.
But mine eyes look unto thee, O LORD God; * in thee is my trust; O cast not out my soul.
Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me, * and from the traps of the wicked doers.
Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together, * and let me ever escape them.
