  • Give Ear to My Voice

    O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me!
    Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
  • Psalm 141
    A psalm of David.

    I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me;
    hear me when I call to you.
  • Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
    and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
  • May my prayer be set before you like incense;
    may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
  • Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
    keep watch over the door of my lips!
  • Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;
    keep watch over the door of my lips.
  • Do not let my heart incline to any evil,
    to busy myself with wicked deeds
    in company with men who work iniquity,
    and let me not eat of their delicacies!
  • Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil
    so that I take part in wicked deeds
    along with those who are evildoers;
    do not let me eat their delicacies.
  • 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 my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
  • Let a righteous man strike me — that is a kindness;
    let him rebuke me — that is oil on my head.
    My head will not refuse it,
    for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
  • When their judges are thrown over the cliff,a
    then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.

    so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.b
  • They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth,
    so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.”
  • But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;
    in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!c
  • But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord;
    in you I take refuge — do not give me over to death.
  • Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me
    and from the snares of evildoers!
  • Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers,
    from the snares they have laid for me.
  • Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
    while I pass by safely.
  • Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
    while I pass by in safety.
