Psalm 141:1

The English Standar Version

O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!

See the chapter Copy

But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay!

O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!

Answer me quickly, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!

But you, O LORD, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid!

Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!

Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be."

Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.[1]

Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!
