RF PSA 141:1 A Psalm by David.
STANZA 1.
To You, LORD, I cry,—haste to help; Attend to my voice when I call;
RF PSA 141:2 Take my prayer as a perfume to You, The raising my hands as a gift;
RF PSA 141:3 Set, LORD, a watch on my mouth, A guard at the door of my lips;
RF PSA 141:4 Let not my heart turn to vile things Nor consort with the doers of crime—With men who are practicing sin, Nor eat of their bread in their feasts.
RF PSA 141:5 STANZA 2.
Let the Righteous in kindness reprove, And correct me like oil to my head,—Which my head will never refuse, And my prayer will give thanks for their care.
RF PSA 141:6 Their Decisions are sown from full hands,1 They are kind and will hear when I plead;
RF PSA 141:7 For like grain they are drilled on the land. And drop on the lips of the furrows.
RF PSA 141:8 STANZA 3.
Still on You, Mighty LORD, are mine eyes, Your mercy I trust not to cast off my life;
RF PSA 141:9 But protect from the trap they have set, And the snare that the Wicked have laid.
RF PSA 141:10 Let the villains fall in it themselves, Whilst I always pass over them safe!2

1. NOTE: I read "by the roadside," "or tree-hands," to mean "in public" in honest daylight—F.F.
2. NOTE: Psa 141:5-10 The passage from these verses, as the Hebrew text apparently reads, has puzzled all translators, from the days of Greek, and all others, in every language I have been able to consult; consequently all translate it as, and into, pure nonsense. After long study, it appears to me that some very ancient transcriber, by a very easy slip of the pen in the Hebrew, lost the meaning for his successors, and I have therefore, after very, very long efforts, and by the assistance of my friend, the Rev. J. Bowen, B.D., of Wolfs Castle, corrected those three or four misspelled words, and have arrived at the above result of a clear consecutive sense. The versions of all my predecessors read as follows, with hardly a word of variation, so I give the English Authorized Version as fairly representative.

Vv. 5 TO 10.

5 "Let the righteous smite me: it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me; it will be an excellent oil: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6. "When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. "
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and heweth wood upon the earth."
8 But mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD, the LORD; in Thee is my trust: leave not my soul destitute."
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity."
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets whilst that I without escape."—F.F.
