[1]<APsalme of Dauid.> O God I call vpon thee, haste thee vnto me: geue eare vnto my voyce whylest I crye vnto thee
[2]Letmy prayer be directed before thy face [as] an incense: let the liftyng vp of mine handes [be] an euenyng sacrifice
[3]Seta watch O God before my mouth: and kepe the doore of my lippes
[4]Inclynenot myne heart to any euyll thyng, wherby I myght commit any vngodly act with men that be workers of iniquitie: and let me not eate of their delicates
[5]Iwishe that the ryghteous woulde smite me and reproue me: for it is louing kyndnesse. (141:6) But let not pretious baulmes breake mine head: for as yet euen my prayer is agaynst their wickednesse
[6](141:7)Let their iudges be thrust downe headlong from a rocke: then they wyll heare my wordes, for they be sweete
[7](141:8)Our bones lye scattered vpon the graues mouth: lyke as when one breaketh and heweth [wood] vpon the earth
[8](141:9)For mine eyes loke vnto thee O God the Lorde: in thee is my trust, cast not my soule out [of me.
[9](141:10)Kepe me from the snare which they haue layde foorth for me: and from the trappes of them that be workers of iniquitie
[10](141:11)Let the vngodly fall together into their owne nettes: but let me in the meane season alwayes escape [them.
