Psalms 141

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (140-1) I have cried to thee, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

2 (140-2) Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

3 (140-3) Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

4 (140-4) Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.

5 (140-5) The just man shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:

6 (140-6) Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:

7 (140-7) As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.

8 (140-8) But to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

9 (140-9) Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.

10 (140-10) The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.

New International Version NIV

1 I call to you, LORD, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you.

2 May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.

4 Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.

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.
