Psalm 141

Psalm

A psalm written by David.

141 Yahweh, rescue me from being attacked by evil men;

even more, keep me safe from being attacked by violent people.

2 They are always planning to do evil things,

and they are always encouraging people to start quarrels.

3 By what they say, they injure people as poisonous snakes do.

4 Yahweh, protect me from the power of wicked people.

Keep me safe from violent men who plan to ruin me.

5 It is as though proud people have set a trap for me;

it is as though they have spread their nets to catch me;

it is as though they have put these things along the road to catch me.

6 I say to you, “Yahweh, you are my God.

Listen to me while I cry out to you to help me.”

7 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one who strongly defends me;

you have protected me during battles as though you had put a helmet on my head.

8 Yahweh, do not give to wicked people the things that they desire,

and do not allow them to do the evil things that they plan to do.

9 Do not allow my enemies to become proud;

cause the evil things that they say they will do to me to happen to them instead.

10 Cause burning coals to fall on their heads!

Cause them to be thrown into deep pits from which they cannot climb out!

11 Do not allow those who slander others to succeed;

cause evil things to happen to violent men and destroy them!

12 Yahweh, I know that you will defend those who are oppressed,

and that you will do what is just.

13 Righteous people will surely thank you,

and they will live in your presence.

Psalm

A psalm written by David.

141 Yahweh, I call out to you;

please help me quickly!

Listen to me when I am calling to you.

2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense being burned as an offering to you.

Accept me while I lift up my hands to pray to you,

just as you accept sacrifices that are offered to you in the evening.

3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say things that are wrong;

guard what I say as a sentry guards a door.

4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong

and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds.

Do not even allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!

5 It is all right if righteous people strike me or rebuke me

because they are trying to act kindly toward me to teach me to do what is right;

if they do that, it will be as if someone honored me by anointing my head with olive oil;

but I am always praying that you will punish the wicked because of the wicked deeds that they do.

6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs,

they will know that what I am saying here is good.

7 They will know one day that their bodies will lie scattered on the ground in the place of the dead,

just as one scatters clods of earth when he plows a field.

8 But Yahweh God, I continue to request that you help me.

I ask you to protect me;

do not allow me to die now!

9 It is as though people have set traps for me;

protect me from falling into those traps.

It is as though they have spread nets to catch me;

keep me from being caught in those nets.

10 I wish that wicked people may fall into the traps they have set to catch me

while I escape from them.
