Psalm 141

A psalm of David.

I call to you, Lord, come quickly(A) to me;
    hear me(B) when I call to you.
May my prayer be set before you like incense;(C)
    may the lifting up of my hands(D) be like the evening sacrifice.(E)

Set a guard over my mouth,(F) Lord;
    keep watch over the door of my lips.(G)
Do not let my heart(H) be drawn to what is evil
    so that I take part in wicked deeds(I)
along with those who are evildoers;
    do not let me eat their delicacies.(J)

But my eyes are fixed(A) on you, Sovereign Lord;
    in you I take refuge(B)—do not give me over to death.
Keep me safe(C) from the traps set by evildoers,(D)
    from the snares(E) they have laid for me.
10 Let the wicked fall(F) into their own nets,
    while I pass by in safety.(G)
