Psalm 141

141

Give Ear to My Voice

A Psalm of David.

1O Lord, I call upon you; #Ps. 40:13; 70:5hasten to me!

Give ear to my voice when I call to you!

2Let #Luke 1:10; Rev. 5:8; 8:3, 4 my prayer be counted as incense before you,

and #See Ps. 28:2 the lifting up of my hands as #See Ex. 29:41the evening sacrifice!

3 # Ps. 34:13 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

# Mic. 7:5 keep watch over the door of my lips!

4 # Ps. 119:36 Do not let my heart incline to any evil,

to busy myself with wicked deeds

in company with men who #ver. 9; Ps. 94:4 work iniquity,

and #Prov. 23:6let me not eat of their delicacies!

5 # [Prov. 9:8; 19:25; 25:12; 27:6; Eccles. 7:5] Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;

let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;

let my head not refuse it.

Yet #[Ps. 109:4]my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

6When their judges are #2 Chr. 25:12; [Luke 4:29]thrown over the cliff,#141:6 Or When their judges fall into the hands of the Rock

then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.

7As when one plows and breaks up the earth,

so shall our bones #Ps. 53:5; [Ezek. 37:1]be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.#141:7 The meaning of the Hebrew in verses 6, 7 is uncertain

8But #Ps. 25:15 my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;

# See Ps. 11:1 in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!#141:8 Hebrew refuge; do not pour out my life!

9Keep me from #See Ps. 140:5the trap that they have laid for me

and from the snares of evildoers!

10Let the wicked #[Ps. 7:15]fall into their own nets,

while I pass by safely.
