Psalm 141

Psalm titleA Psalm of David.

  1. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
  2. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
  3. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
  4. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
  5. Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
  6. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
  7. Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
  8. But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
  9. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
  10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

How these connections are counted

Sources. Scripture text is the King James Version (public domain). Hebrew is the Westminster Leningrad Codex (public domain) with STEPBible tagging and lexicon data (CC BY 4.0). Old Testament cross references come from OpenBible.info (CC BY). Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026, plus scripture lists in Weak Things sketch notes for selected apostles’ talks from 1971–1999. Latter-day Saint scholarship, other Christian commentaries, Jewish interpretation and historical sources are labeled separately.

Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.

Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text is not reproduced; every card links to the original talk on the Church’s site. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
