Dee 141 Psalm

O Herr Gott, ekj schrie to die; spood die, hea miene Stem wan ekj to die schrie.

Lot mien Jebäd bestädijcht senne fer die soo aus Weiruak; mien Henj opphäwe soo aus daut Owent Opfa.

O Herr Gott, sat en Aunstaultswajchta fer mien Mul; en Schuts opp dee Däa fonn miene Leppe.

Lot mien nijch auntsied dreihe no irjent waut fa en Beeset Dinkj, beeset to doone un Gottlooset met Mane dee Beeset doone, un lot mie nijch fonn äa Scheenet äte.

Dee Jerajchte schlone mie; daut es en Erboarme; un hee dodelt mie, daut es daut Eelj opp dän Kopp; lot mien Kopp daut nijch aufsaje; doch saul mien Jebäd jäajen äa Beeset senne.

Äare Rejchta sent jäajen dän groota Steen jeschmatat; dee selle miene Wead heare, dan dee sent aunjenäm.

Soo aus eena dee Ead pleajcht un dee Ead entwei riete deit, soo sent onnse Knoakes festreit bie dän Scheol Mul.

Oba miene Uage sent opp die, O Herr Gott, mien Herr; enn die näm ekj Schuts, moak miene Seel nijch noaktich.

Hool mie fonn dee Faul äare Henj dee see fa mie jelajcht ha; un fonn dee Schlenj fonn dän dee Beeset oabeide.

10 Lot dee Beese tojlikj enn äa eajnet Nat ennen faule; ekj woa soogoa febie gone.

Psalm 141

A psalm of David.

I call to you, Lord, come quickly(A) to me;
    hear me(B) when I call to you.
May my prayer be set before you like incense;(C)
    may the lifting up of my hands(D) be like the evening sacrifice.(E)

Set a guard over my mouth,(F) Lord;
    keep watch over the door of my lips.(G)
Do not let my heart(H) be drawn to what is evil
    so that I take part in wicked deeds(I)
along with those who are evildoers;
    do not let me eat their delicacies.(J)

Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
    let him rebuke me(K)—that is oil on my head.(L)
My head will not refuse it,
    for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,(M)
    and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
They will say, “As one plows(N) and breaks up the earth,(O)
    so our bones have been scattered at the mouth(P) of the grave.”

But my eyes are fixed(Q) on you, Sovereign Lord;
    in you I take refuge(R)—do not give me over to death.
Keep me safe(S) from the traps set by evildoers,(T)
    from the snares(U) they have laid for me.
10 Let the wicked fall(V) into their own nets,
    while I pass by in safety.(W)
