Bible. Psalms
19:141:002 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the
lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
19:141:003 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my
lips.
19:141:004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked
works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their
dainties.
19:141:005 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let
him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not
break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their
calamities.
19:141:006 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall
hear my words; for they are sweet.
19:141:007 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one
cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
19:141:008 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my
trust; leave not my soul destitute.
19:141:009 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the
gins of the workers of iniquity.
19:141:010 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal
escape.
19:142:001 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the
LORD did I make my supplication.
19:142:002 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my
trouble.
19:142:003 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my
path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a
snare for me.
19:142:004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man
that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my
soul.
19:142:005 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my
portion in the land of the living.
19:142:006 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from
my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
19:142:007 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the
righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal
bountifully with me.
19:143:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy
faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
19:143:002 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight
shall no man living be justified.
19:143:003 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life
down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as
those that have been long dead.
19:143:004 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within
me is desolate.
19:143:005 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I
muse on the work of thy hands.
19:143:006 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after
thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
