Psalm 141 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

An Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.

A Psalm of David.

141 Lord, I call upon You; ^(A)hurry to me!
^(B)Listen to my voice when I call to You!
²May my prayer be ^[a]counted as ^(C)incense before You;
The ^(D)raising of my hands as the ^(E)evening offering.
³Set a ^(F)guard, Lord, ^[b]over my mouth;
Keep watch over the ^(G)door of my lips.
⁴^(H)Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds ^[c]of wickedness
With people who ^(I)do wrong;
And ^(J)may I not taste their delicacies.

⁵May the ^(K)righteous strike me with mercy and discipline me;
It is ^(L)oil for the head;
My head shall not refuse it,
For my prayer ^(M)is still against their evil deeds.
⁶Their judges are ^(N)thrown down by the sides of the rock,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
⁷As when one ^(O)plows and breaks open the earth,
Our ^(P)bones have been scattered at the ^(Q)mouth of ^[d]Sheol.

⁸For my ^(R)eyes are toward You, ^[e]God, the Lord;
In You I ^(S)take refuge; ^(T)do not ^[f]leave me defenseless.
⁹Keep me from the ^[g]^(U)jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the ^(V)snares of those who do wrong.
¹⁰May the wicked ^(W)fall into their own nets,
While I pass by ^[h]^(X)safely.
