Psalm 140

Select Translation

1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to thee; hear me: Attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; The lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, And a strong door about my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, To employ pretexts for sins, With men who work iniquity: And let me not unite with their choice ones.
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: But let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: For yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: They shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, Our bones have been scattered by the mouth of the grave.
8 For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, And from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
