Chapter 140

1

 

 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee. 

 


2

 

 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice. 

 


3

 

 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips. 

 


4

 

 Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them. 

 


5

 

 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased: 

 


6

 

 their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed: 

 


7

 

 as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. 

 


8

 

 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul. 

 


9

 

 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity. 

 


10

 

 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
