Psalm 141 – read and compare multiple versions of the Bible

^[1] Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
^[2] Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
^[3] Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
^[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] 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] Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
^[7] “As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”°
^[8] For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
^[9] Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
^[10] Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

Psalm 141:7 Sheol is the place of the dead.
