DAY 25
Psalm 141
| A Psalm of David.LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. | |
| {2} Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. | |
| {3} Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. | |
| {4} Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. | |
| {5} Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calami-ties. | |
| {6} When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. | |
| {7} Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. | |
| {8} But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD *the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. | |
| {9} Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.{10} Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. |
