Psalm 141

music by Seminarian Paul Friesen-Carper - at right with the LTSP choir in rehearsal

Let my prayer rise up as incense,
My lifted hands as sacrifice,
I call to you, Loving God, quickly come to my aid.
Hear my voice when I cry to you!

Set a watch within me, God;
Let me will no evil thing;
May your righteousness reprove, may I bow to your will.
Break and bend! It is anointing oil.

Wickedness will come undone;
Evil, too, will break and bend;
Yet my eyes are turned to you, God, my safety, my peace.
Through these snares may I safely go.

Let my prayer rise up as incense,
My lifted hands as sacrifice,
I call to you, Loving God, quickly come to my aid.
Hear my voice when I cry to you!
