Psalm 141

“A psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called on thee: hasten for me. Give ear to my voice, when I call unto thee. Established he my prayer [as] incense in thy presence, the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening oblation. Set a guard, Jehovah, at my mouth; watch over the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to an evil matter (word), to practice practices in wickedness with men doing iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties. Let a righteous one smite me—a kindness; and rebuke me—a chief oil: let not my head refuse; for even yet prayer [is] in their calamities (or injuries). Thrown down by means (hands) of the rock are their judges; and they shall hear my words, for they are sweet. Like one cleaving or splitting on the earth, scattered are our bones at Sheol's mouth. For unto thee, Jehovah Lord, [are] mine eyes; in this I trust: pour not out my soul. Keep me from the power (hands) of the traps they laid for me, and from the snares of the doers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while for my part I escape” (vers. 1-10).
The next is didactic and a prayer. Wickedness in power casts the righteous on Jehovah alone. How often precious, and proved by how many! Yet, while originally David's faith, it will apply fully in the future crisis of Israel.
