PSALM 141: For obtaining bravery and for conquering cowardice

This psalm is used for obtaining bravery and for conquering cowardice. its prayer is the prayer under psalm 16


Yahweh, I cry out to you, “Come quickly.”
    Open your ears to me when I cry out to you.
Let my prayer be accepted
    as sweet-smelling incense in your presence.
    Let the lifting up of my hands in prayer be accepted
        as an evening sacrifice.
Yahweh, set a guard at my mouth.
    Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not let me be persuaded to do anything evil
    or to become involved with wickedness,
        with people who are troublemakers.
            Do not let me taste their delicacies.
A righteous person may strike me or correct me out of kindness.
    It is like lotion for my head.
        My head will not refuse it,
            because my prayer is directed against evil deeds.
When their judges are thrown off a cliff,
    they will listen to what I have to say.
        It will sound pleasant to them.
As someone plows and breaks up the ground,
    so our bones will be planted at the mouth of the grave.
My eyes look to you, Yahweh Adonay.
    I have taken refuge in you.
    Do not leave me defenseless.
Keep me away from the trap they set for me
    and from the traps set by troublemakers.
10 Let wicked people fall into their own nets,
    while I escape unharmed.


PRAYER:

Psalm 16

Protect me, O El, because I take refuge in you.
I said to Yahweh,
    “You are my Adonay. Without you, I have nothing good.”
Those who lead holy lives on earth
    are the noble ones who fill me with joy.
Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.
    I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood
        or use my lips to speak their names.
Yahweh is my inheritance and my cup.
    You are the one who determines my destiny.
Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.
    Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.
I will praise Yahweh, who advises me.
    My conscience warns me at night.
I always keep Yahweh in front of me.
    When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.
        
            My body rests securely
10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave
    or allow your holy one to decay.
11 You make the path of life known to me.
    Complete joy is in your presence.
        Pleasures are by your side forever.
