Psalm 141. Domine, clamavi.

1. O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly; *
   hear my voice when I cry to you.
2. Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, *
   the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3. Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord, and guard the door of my lips; *
   let not my heart incline to any evil thing.
4. Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers, *
   nor eat of their choice foods.
5. Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke; let not the oil of the unrighteous anoint my head; *
   for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.
6. Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places, *
   that they may know my words are true.
7. As when a plowman turns over the earth in furrows, *
   let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.
8. But my eyes are turned to you, Lord God; *
   in you I take refuge; do not strip me of my life.
9. Protect me from the snare which they have laid for me *
   and from the traps of the evildoers.
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, *
    while I myself escape.
