Psalms 141

• 1. O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you.
• 2. May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
• 3. Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
• 4. Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.
• 5. Let a righteous man strike me-it is a kindness; let him rebuke me-it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;
• 6. their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
• 7. They will say, "As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave. "
• 8. But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge-do not give me over to death.
• 9. Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers.
• 10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

Psalms 142

• 1. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
• 2. I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble.
• 3. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare for me.
• 4. Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
• 5. I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
• 6. Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
• 7. Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.

Psalms 143

• 1. O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
• 2. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
• 3. The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
• 4. So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
• 5. I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
• 6. I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
• 7. Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
• 8. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
• 9. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you.
• 10. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
• 11. For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
• 12. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
