Psalms 141
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee.
1Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. [1 Kings 24]
2Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
3Set a guard, O LORD, to my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
3In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:
4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
4When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths.
5Let the righteous smite me in kindness, and correct me; oil so choice let not my head refuse; for still is my prayer because of their wickedness.
5I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.
6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words, that they are sweet.
6I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7As when one cleaveth and breaketh up the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth.
7Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
8For mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord; in Thee have I taken refuge, O pour not out my soul.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
