Prayer for Preservation from Evil

美国

Psalms: 141: O LORD, I am calling to you, Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help! Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering. Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips. Don't let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong. Let the godly strike me ! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don't let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds. When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, the wicked will listen to my words and find them true. Like rocks brought up by a plow, the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial. I look to you for help, O Sovereign LORD. You are my refuge, don't let them kill me. Keep me from the traps they have set for me, from the snares of those who do wrong. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, but let me escape.

Psalm 142:1-7
A psalm of David, regarding his experience in the cave. A prayer.

        [1]I cry out to the Lord;
            I plead for the Lord's mercy.
        [2] I pour out my complaints before him
            and tell him all my troubles.
        [3] For I am overwhelmed,
            and you alone know the way I should turn.
        Wherever I go,
            my enemies have set traps for me.
        [4] I look for someone to come and help me,
            but no one gives me a passing thought!
        No one will help me;
            no one cares a bit what happens to me.
        [5] Then I pray to you, O Lord.
            I say, "You are my place of refuge.
            You are all I really want in life.
        [6] Hear my cry,
            for I am very low.
        Rescue me from my persecutors,
            for they are too strong for me.
        [7] Bring me out of prison
            so I can thank you.
        The godly will crowd around me,
            for you treat me kindly."
