Psalms 141

141
A Prayer Not to Sin
A song of David.
1Lord, I call to you. Come quickly.
Listen to me when I call to you.
2Let my prayer be like incense placed before you.
Let my praise be like the evening sacrifice.
3Lord, help me control my tongue.
Help me be careful about what I say.
4Don’t let me want to do evil
or join others in doing wrong.
Don’t let me eat
with those who do evil.
5If a good man punished me, that would be kind.
If he corrected me,
that would be like having perfumed oil on my head.
I shouldn’t refuse it.
But I pray against those who do evil.
6Let their leaders be thrown down the cliffs.
Then people will know that I have spoken the truth:
7“The ground is plowed and broken up.
In the same way, our bones have been scattered at the grave.”
8Lord God, I look to you for help.
I trust in you. Don’t let me die.
9Protect me from the traps they set for me
and from the net evil people have spread.
10Let the wicked fall into their own pits.
And let me pass by safely.
