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
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Psalm 141
A Psalm of David.
1 Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me. Give ear to my voice when I cry to You.
2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before You, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.(A)
3 Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
4 Incline my heart not to submit or consent to any evil thing or to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous man smite and correct me—it is a kindness. Oil so choice let not my head refuse or discourage; for even in their evils or calamities shall my prayer continue.(B)
6 When their rulers are overthrown in stony places, [their followers] shall hear my words, that they are sweet (pleasant, mild, and just).
7 The unburied bones [of slaughtered rulers] shall lie scattered at the mouth of Sheol, [as unregarded] as the lumps of soil behind the plowman when he breaks open the ground.(C)
8 But my eyes are toward You, O God the Lord; in You do I trust and take refuge; pour not out my life nor leave it destitute and bare.
9 Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and the snares of evildoers.
10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass over them and escape.

Salmo 141 (140)
Señor, acude a mí
141 Salmo de David.
Señor, a ti clamo, acude a mí,
escucha mi voz cuando te llamo.
2 Que mi oración sea ante ti como incienso,
mis manos alzadas como ofrenda de la tarde.
3 Señor, pon en mi boca un centinela
que vigile a la puerta de mis labios.
4 No dejes que mi corazón se incline al mal,
que cometa injusticias con los malhechores.
¡Que no pruebe yo sus manjares!
5 Que el justo por amor me corrija y me reprenda,
que el aceite del malvado no perfume mi cabeza,
que mi oración se alce frente a sus maldades.
6 Serán arrojados sus magistrados contra las rocas
y sabrán entonces que eran suaves mis palabras.
7 Como tierra que se rompe y desmenuza,
se esparcen sus huesos
a las puertas del reino de los muertos.
8 Señor, Dios mío, hacia ti dirijo mis ojos,
en ti me refugio, no me desampares.
9 Guárdame de la red que me han tendido,
de las trampas de los malhechores.
10 Que caigan los malvados en sus trampas,
mientras yo sigo adelante.
