Psalms 141:1-5 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. I pray to you, Lord!Please listen when I prayand hurry to help me.

2. Think of my prayeras sweet-smelling incense,and think of my lifted handsas an evening sacrifice.

3. Help me to guard my wordswhenever I say something.

4. Don't let me want to do evilor waste my time doing wrongwith wicked people.Don't let me even tastethe good things they offer.

5. Let your faithful peoplecorrect and punish me.My prayers condemn the deedsof those who do wrong,so don't let me be friendswith any of them.
