1 Of understanding for David, A prayer when he was in the cave.

2 I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

3 In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

4 When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths. In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.

5 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.

6 I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

7 Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

8 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 141 about?
It's an evening prayer asking God to "set a watch... before my mouth; keep the door of my lips" (v.3) and to keep the psalmist's heart from being drawn "to practise wicked works" (v.4).
What does verse 5 say about correction from the righteous?
V.5 says, "Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness... it shall be an excellent oil," welcoming honest rebuke from godly people rather than resenting it.
How does the psalm end?
Verses 9-10 ask God to keep him "from the snares which they have laid," so the wicked fall into their own traps "whilst that I withal escape." Compare James 1:26.
