The psalm is a personal lament and petition \u2014 the speaker cries out to God for urgent help, asks that his prayer ascend like incense, and pleads for God to guard his mouth and keep his heart from being drawn toward evil or the company of wicked men. The psalmist paradoxically welcomes correction from the righteous as a kindness, while expressing confidence that God will see his enemies fall into their own traps. A notable discrepancy runs through the presentation: the KJV column corresponds to Psalm 141, while the Septuagint and Vulgate columns track Psalm 142 (a cave-prayer of abandonment and hope), reflecting the well-known versification divergence between the Hebrew and Greek/Latin traditions. The document's distinctive value is precisely this side-by-side format, which makes visible the textual and structural differences between traditions rather than harmonizing them \u2014 a resource aimed at comparative biblical study rather than devotional reading.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 141","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":586}
