Psalm 141
King James Version
141 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 practise 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 calamities.
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.
Psalm 141
New International Version
Psalm 141
A psalm of David.
1 I call to you, Lord, come quickly(A) to me;
hear me(B) when I call to you.
2 May my prayer be set before you like incense;(C)
may the lifting up of my hands(D) be like the evening sacrifice.(E)
3 Set a guard over my mouth,(F) Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.(G)
4 Do not let my heart(H) be drawn to what is evil
so that I take part in wicked deeds(I)
along with those who are evildoers;
do not let me eat their delicacies.(J)
5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me(K)—that is oil on my head.(L)
My head will not refuse it,
for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
Psaltaren 141
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Bön om hjälp mot fiender
141 En psalm av David.
Herre, jag ropar till dig,
skynda till mig!
Lyssna till min röst
när jag ropar till dig.
2 [a]Låt min bön vara rökelse
inför dig,
mina lyfta händer ett aftonoffer.
3 [b]Herre, sätt en vakt för min mun,
bevaka mina läppars dörr.
4 [c]Låt inte mitt hjärta dras
till det som är ont[d],
till gudlösa gärningar
i lag med förbrytare.
Deras läckerheter vill jag inte äta.
5 [e]Om en rättfärdig slår mig
är det av kärlek,
straffar han mig
är det som olja på huvudet.
Mitt huvud ska inte avvisa det.
Men jag fortsätter att be
mot de ondas gärningar.
6 Deras ledare ska störtas ner
för klippan,
och då ska de förstå
att mina ord var goda.
7 Som när man plöjer
och river upp jorden,
så ligger våra ben utspridda
vid dödsrikets rand.[f]
8 [g]Men till dig, Herre min Herre,
ser mina ögon,
till dig tar jag min tillflykt.
Förkasta inte min själ[h]!
9 Bevara mig från snarorna
de lägger för mig,
från förbrytarnas fällor.
10 [i]Låt de gudlösa fastna
i sina egna nät
medan jag går trygg förbi.

My Prayer as Incense Before You
A Psalm of David.
141 O Yahweh, I call upon You; (A)hasten to me!
(B)Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
2 May my prayer be established as (C)incense before You;
The (D)lifting up of my hands as the (E)evening offering.
3 Set a (F)guard, O Yahweh, [a]over my mouth;
Keep watch over the (G)door of my lips.
4 (H)Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds in wickedness
With men who are (I)workers of iniquity;
And (J)do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the (K)righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me;
It is (L)oil upon the head;
Let not my head refuse it,
[b]For still my prayer (M)is [c]against their evil deeds.
6 Their judges are (N)thrown down by the sides of the cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7 As when one (O)plows and splits open the earth,
Our (P)bones have been scattered at the (Q)mouth of Sheol.
8 For my (R)eyes are toward You, O Yahweh, O Lord;
In You I (S)take refuge; (T)do not pour out my soul to death.
9 Keep me from the [d](U)jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the (V)snares of workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked (W)fall into their own nets,
As for myself—meanwhile, (X)I am passing by.
