Psalms 141:5-10

The Message Bible MSG

5 May the Just One set me straight, may the Kind One correct me, Don't let sin anoint my head. I'm praying hard against their evil ways!

6 Oh, let their leaders be pushed off a high rock cliff; make them face the music.

7 Like a rock pulverized by a maul, let their bones be scattered at the gates of hell.

8 But God, dear Lord, I only have eyes for you. Since I've run for dear life to you, take good care of me.

9 Protect me from their evil scheming, from all their demonic subterfuge.

10 Let the wicked fall flat on their faces, while I walk off without a scratch. A David prayer - when he was in the cave.

New International Version NIV

5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

6 Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.

7 They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.”

8 But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.

9 Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers, from the snares they have laid for me.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
