Chapter 140

1


 

  I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.  

 

 

--

5


 

  The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:  

 

 

--

6


 

  their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:  

 

 

--

7


 

  as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.  

 

 

--

8


 

  But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.  

 

 

--
