Psalmes 141

P S A L. CXLI.

1 Dauid prayeth that his suit may bee acceptable, 3 his conscience sincere, 7 and his life safe from snares.

¶ A Psalme of Dauid.

CXLI ¶ LORD, I crie vnto thee, make haste vnto mee: giue eare vnto my voice, when I crie vnto thee. 2 [fn]Let my prayer bee set foorth before thee as incense: and the lifting vp of my hands as the Euening sacrifice. 3 Set a watch (O LORD) before my mouth: keepe the doore of my lips. 4 Incline not my heart to any euill thing, to practise wicked workes with men that worke iniquitie: and let mee not eate of their dainties. 5 [fn]Let the righteous smite mee, it shalbe a kindnesse: and let him reprooue me, it shalbe an excellent oile, which shall not breake my head: for yet my prayer also shalbe in their calamities. 6 When their Iudges are ouerthrowen in stonie places, they shall heare my words, for they are sweet. 7 Our bones are scattered at the graues mouth: as when one cutteth and cleaueth wood vpon the earth. 8 [fn]But mine eyes are vnto thee, O God the LORD: in thee is my trust, leaue not my soule destitute. 9 Keepe mee from the snare which they haue laide for me, and the grinnes of the workers of iniquitie. 10 [fn]Let the wicked fall into their owne nets: whilest that I withal escape.
