Psalm 141

Prayer for Preservation from Evil

A Psalm of David.

¹I call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me;
give ear to my voice when I call to you.
²Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.

³Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
