| [1] O God I call vpon thee, haste thee vnto me: geue eare vnto my voyce whylest I crye vnto thee |
[1]A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee. |
| [2]Let my prayer be directed before thy face [as] an incense: let the liftyng vp of mine handes [be] an euenyng sacrifice |
[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 God before my mouth: and kepe the doore of my lippes |
[3]Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. |
| [4]Inclyne not myne heart to any euyll thyng, wherby I myght commit any vngodly act with men that be workers of iniquitie: and let me not eate of their delicates |
[4]Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. |
| [5]I wishe that the ryghteous woulde smite me and reproue me: for it is louing kyndnesse. (141:6) But let not pretious baulmes breake mine head: for as yet euen my prayer is agaynst their wickednesse |
[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](141:7) Let their iudges be thrust downe headlong from a rocke: then they wyll heare my wordes, for they be sweete |
[6]When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. |
| [7](141:8) Our bones lye scattered vpon the graues mouth: lyke as when one breaketh and heweth [wood] vpon the earth |
[7]Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. |
| [8](141:9) For mine eyes loke vnto thee O God the Lorde: in thee is my trust, cast not my soule out [of me. |
[8]But my eyes are to thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. |
| [9](141:10) Kepe me from the snare which they haue layde foorth for me: and from the trappes of them that be workers of iniquitie |
[9]Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. |
| [10](141:11) Let the vngodly fall together into their owne nettes: but let me in the meane season alwayes escape [them. |
[10]Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I escape. |
