Psalm 141
NLT Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationInternational Standard Version
1O LORD, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help!1LORD, I call to you, be quick to listen to me when I cry out!
2Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.2Let my prayer be like incense offered before you, and my uplifted hands like the evening sacrifice.
3Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips.3LORD, set a guard over my mouth; keep watch over the door to my lips.
4Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.4Don't let my heart turn toward evil or involve itself in wicked activities with men who practice iniquity. Let me not feast on their delicacies.
5Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don’t let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.5Let one who is righteous strike me; It is an act of gracious love. Let him rebuke me, because it is oil for my head; do not let my head refuse it. My prayers continuously will be against their wicked activities.
6When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.6When their judges are thrown off the cliff, the people will hear my words, for they are appropriate.
7Like rocks brought up by a plow, the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.7Just as one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered near the entrance to the place of the dead.
8I look to you for help, O Sovereign LORD. You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me.8Nevertheless, my eyes are on you, Lord GOD, as I seek protection in you. Don't leave me defenseless!
9Keep me from the traps they have set for me, from the snares of those who do wrong.9Protect me from the trap laid for me and from the snares of those who practice evil.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, but let me escape.10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I come through.
