Like wood that is split and chopped into bits,
    so their bones are scattered at the edge of the grave.[a]

But I keep trusting in you, my Sovereign Lord.
    I seek your protection;
    don't let me die!
Protect me from the traps they have set for me,
    from the snares of those evildoers.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 141:7 Verses 5-7 in Hebrew are unclear.

They will say, “As one plows(A) and breaks up the earth,(B)
    so our bones have been scattered at the mouth(C) of the grave.”

But my eyes are fixed(D) on you, Sovereign Lord;
    in you I take refuge(E)—do not give me over to death.
Keep me safe(F) from the traps set by evildoers,(G)
    from the snares(H) they have laid for me.
