The Psalter According to the Seventy
Psalm 140
A Psalm of David.
Lord, I have cried unto Thee, hearken unto me; attend to the voice of my supplication when I cry unto Thee.
2
Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
3
Set, O Lord, a watch before my mouth, and a door of enclosure round about my lips.
4
Incline not my heart unto words of evil, to make excuse with excuses in sins,
5
With men that work iniquity; and I will not join with their chosen.
6
The righteous man will chasten me with mercy and reprove me; as for the oil of the sinner, let it not anoint my head.
7
For yet more is my prayer in the presence of their pleasures; swallowed up near by the rock have their judges been.
8
They shall hear my words, for they be sweetened; as a clod of earth is broken upon the earth, so have their bones been scattered nigh unto hades.
9
For unto Thee, O Lord, O Lord, are mine eyes, in Thee have I hoped; take not my soul away.
10
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the stumbling-blocks of them that work iniquity.
11
The sinners shall fall into their own net; I am alone until I pass by.
