Salmos 141

141

A psalm of David. O LORD, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you!

2

May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering!

3

O LORD, place a guard on my mouth! Protect the opening of my lips!

4

Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies.

5

May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil! Indeed, my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds.

6

They will be thrown down the side of a cliff by their judges. They will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

7

As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

8

Surely I am looking to you, O Sovereign LORD. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger!

9

Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set.

10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape.
