Psalm 141-142

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 141-142

1I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me.
Hear my voice when I call to You.
2May my prayer be set before You like incense,
my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth;
keep watch at the door of my lips.
4Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing
or take part in works of wickedness
with men who do iniquity;
let me not feast on their delicacies.
5Let the righteous man strike me;
let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion.
It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it.
For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
6When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs,
the people will listen to my words,
for they are pleasant.
7As when one plows and breaks up the soil,
so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8But my eyes are fixed on You,
O GOD the Lord.
In You I seek refuge;
do not leave my soul defenseless.
9Keep me from the snares they have laid for me,
and from the lures of evildoers.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by in safety.
1I cry aloud to the LORD;
I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2I pour out my complaint before Him;
I reveal my trouble to Him.
3Although my spirit grows faint within me,
You know my way.
Along the path I travel
they have hidden a snare for me.
4Look to my right and see;
no one attends to me.
There is no refuge for me;
no one cares for my soul.
5I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
6Listen to my cry,
for I am brought quite low.
Rescue me from my pursuers,
for they are too strong for me.
7Free my soul from prison,
that I may praise Your name.
The righteous will gather around me
because of Your goodness to me.
