Psalm 141 Prayed

Psalm 141 Prayed Dedicating myself to God    O Lord, I call to you; come quickly to me.               Hear my voice when I call to you.    Help me to be imitator of you, O God,               as your dearly loved child            and help me to live a life of love,    just as Christ loved me and gave himself up for me               as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to you, O               God.    In view of your mercy,               help me to offer my body as a living sacrifice,    holy and pleasing to you,               for this is my spiritual act of worship to you O               God. .    May my prayer be set before you like incense;               may the lifting up of my hands               be like the ancient evening sacrifice.    Set a guard over my mouth, O Jesus;               keep watch over the door of my lips.    Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil,               to take part in wicked deeds    with men who are evildoers;               let me not eat of their delicacies.    Let a righteous friend strike me with the truth               —it is a kindness;               let him rebuke me—it is oil on my head.               My head will not refuse it.    Let me receive your Word faithfully preached,               in season and out of season.    Let it correct, rebuke and encourage me,               with great patience and careful instruction.     Yet my prayer is ever against               the deeds of evildoers;    Let their rulers be thrown down from the               cliffs,               so the Wicked One will learn that your words               were well spoken:    For you said to Satan O Lord Jesus,                “The LORD rebuke you, Satan!    Now is the time for judgment on this world;               now the prince of this world will be driven               out.”    Let him remember how you saw him fall               like lightning from heaven.    Let these spiritual forces say, “As one ploughs and                breaks up the earth,               so our bones have been scattered at the mouth               of the grave.’”     But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign Lord               Jesus;               in you I take refuge—do not give me over to               death.     Keep me from the snares they have laid for me,               from the traps of sin set by these spiritual               evildoers.     Let the Wicked One fall into his own net,               while I pass by in safety. Psalm 141 A psalm of David. 1   O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me.               Hear my voice when I call to you. Eph. 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Rom. 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2    May my prayer be set before you like incense;               may the lifting up of my hands be like the               evening sacrifice. 3   Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;               keep watch over the door of my lips. 4   Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil,               to take part in wicked deeds       with men who are evildoers;               let me not eat of their delicacies. 5a   Let a righteous man strike me—it is a               kindness;       let him rebuke me—it is oil on my head.               My head will not refuse it. 2Tim. 4:2 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.  5b  Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of               evildoers; 6               their rulers will be thrown down from the               cliffs,               and the wicked will learn that my words               were well spoken. Zech. 3:2 The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! John 12:31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. Luke 10:18  He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 7   [They will say,] “As one ploughs and breaks up               the earth,               so our bones have been scattered at the               mouth of the grave.’” 8   But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign               LORD;               in you I take refuge—do not give me over               to death. 9   Keep me from the snares they have laid for               me,               from the traps set by evildoers. 10  Let the wicked fall into their own nets,               while I pass by in safety.
