Psalter 141





Psalm 141. Domine, clamavi
LORD, I call upon thee, haste thee unto me : and consider my voice when I cry unto thee.
2. Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incense : and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.
3. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth : and keep the door of my lips.
4. O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing : let me not be occupied in ungodly works with the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such things as please them.
5. Let the righteous rather smite me friendly : and reprove me.
6. But let not their precious balms break my head : yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness.
7. Let their judges be overthrown in stony places : that they may hear my words, for they are sweet.
8. Our bones lie scattered before the pit : like as when one breaketh and heweth wood upon the earth.
9. But mine eyes look unto thee, O Lord God : in thee is my trust , O cast not out my soul.
10. Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me : and from the traps of the wicked doers.
11. Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together : and let me ever escape them.

Psalter 4

Psalm 4 .  Cum invocarem EAR  me when I call, O God of my righteousness : thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer. 2. O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? 3. Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly: when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me. 4. Stand in awe, and sin not : commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still. 5. Offer the sacrifice of righteousness : and put your trust in the Lord. 6. There be many that say : Who will shew us any good? 7. Lord, lift thou up : the light of thy countenance upon us. 8. Thou hast put gladness in my heart : since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased. 9. I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest : for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
