1 Гдⷭ҇и, воззва́хъ къ тебѣ̀, ᲂу҆слы́ши мѧ̀: вонмѝ гла́сꙋ моле́нїѧ моегѡ̀, внегда̀ воззва́ти мѝ къ тебѣ̀.
141:1 A Psalm by David. Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
2 Да и҆спра́витсѧ моли́тва моѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ кади́ло пред̾ тобо́ю: воздѣѧ́нїе рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю, же́ртва вече́рнѧѧ.
141:2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 Положѝ, гдⷭ҇и, хране́нїе ᲂу҆стѡ́мъ мои̑мъ и҆ две́рь ѡ҆гражде́нїѧ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆стна́хъ мои́хъ.
141:3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4 Не ᲂу҆клонѝ се́рдце моѐ въ словеса̀ лꙋка́вствїѧ, непщева́ти вины̀ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ съ челѡвѣ́ки дѣ́лающими беззако́нїе: и҆ не сочтꙋ́сѧ со и҆збра́нными и҆́хъ.
141:4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Нака́жетъ мѧ̀ првⷣникъ ми́лостїю и҆ ѡ҆бличи́тъ мѧ̀, є҆ле́й же грѣ́шнагѡ да не нама́ститъ главы̀ моеѧ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆щѐ и҆ моли́тва моѧ̀ во благоволе́нїихъ и҆́хъ.
141:5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
6 Пожє́рты бы́ша при ка́мени сꙋдїи̑ и҆́хъ: ᲂу҆слы́шатсѧ глагѡ́ли моѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возмого́ша.
141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
7 Ꙗ҆́кѡ то́лща землѝ просѣ́десѧ на землѝ, расточи́шасѧ кѡ́сти и҆́хъ при а҆́дѣ.
141:7 “As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”
8 Ꙗ҆́кѡ къ тебѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, ѻ҆́чи моѝ: на тѧ̀ ᲂу҆пова́хъ, не ѿимѝ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀:
141:8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
9 сохрани́ мѧ ѿ сѣ́ти, ю҆́же соста́виша мѝ, и҆ ѿ собла̑знъ дѣ́лающихъ беззако́нїе.
141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Падꙋ́тъ во мре́жꙋ свою̀ грѣ̑шницы: є҆ди́нъ є҆́смь а҆́зъ, до́ндеже прейдꙋ̀.
141:10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 141.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    Not yet, therefore, hadst Thou set a watch before my mouth, and kept the door of my lips, that my heart might not incline to wicked speeches, to make excuses of sins, with men that work iniquity --and, therefore, was I still united with their "Elect."
