Psalms 141

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.	1 [Psalm Of David] Yahweh, I am cal ing, hurry to me, listen to my voice when I cal to you.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.	2 May my prayer be like incense in your presence, my uplifted hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.	3 Yahweh, mount a guard over my mouth, a guard at 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.	4 Check any impulse to speak evil, to share the foul deeds of evil-doers. I shal not sample theirdelights!
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.	5 May the upright correct me with a friend's rebuke; but the wicked shal never anoint my head with oil,for that would make me party to their crimes.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.	6 They are delivered into the power of the rock, their judge, those who took pleasure in hearing mesay,
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.	7 'Like a shattered mil stone on the ground our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.'
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.	8 To you, Yahweh, I turn my eyes, in you I take refuge, do not leave me unprotected.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.	9 Save me from the traps that are set for me, the snares of evil-doers.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.	10 Let the wicked fal each into his own net, while I pass on my way.
