A Psalm of David. |
Psalm 141:1-10 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
I cry [out] unto You, Lord. [Hurry] to me & [lean Your] ear & [listen] to my voice, when I cry [out] to You. Let my prayer be [put] before You [like] incense. And [let] the lifting of my hands [be like] the evening sacrifice. [1 Timothy 2:8 Therefore, I [want] that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without [anger] & doubting.] |
O Lord, [put a guard in front of] my mouth & keep the [doors] of my lips. [Don't let] my heart [lean toward] any evil thing, or practice wicked [deeds] with men, [who] work [sinfully.] And [don't] let me eat of their [delicacies.] |
[If I should do so:] let the righteous [strike] me. It shall be a kindness. And let him [scold] me. It shall be [like] an excellent oil, which shall not break my head. [Still,] my prayers shall also be [with them] in their calamities. |
[Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be [caught] in a fault, [those who] are spiritual, restore such a [person,] in the spirit of [humbleness] & [examine] yourself, lest you also be tempted.] |
When their judges are overthrown in [rocky] places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, [like] when [someone splits open] & cuts wood upon the [ground, is scattered.] But [my] eyes are [focused on] You, O God, the Lord. |
My trust is in You. [Don't] leave my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares [that] they have laid for me & the [traps] of [those who] work [sinfully.] Let the wicked fall into their own nets, [while] I, [at the same time,] escape. |
