Psalms 141 - Revised Standard Version Old Tradition 1952(RSV-C)

A Psalm of David.

1I call upon thee, O Lord; make haste to me!

Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!

2

for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.

6When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,

then they shall learn that the word of the Lord is true.

7As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land,

so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

8But my eyes are toward thee, O Lord God;

in thee I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!

9Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me,

and from the snares of evildoers!

10Let the wicked together fall into their own nets,

while I escape.
