Psalms 141:3

Prayer for Safekeeping from Wickedness

A Psalm of David.

1 Lord, I cry out to You;
Make haste to me!
Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.

2 Let my prayer be set before You ^aas incense,
^bThe lifting up of my hands as ^cthe evening sacrifice.

3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my ^amouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.

4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice wicked works
With men who work iniquity;
^aAnd do not let me eat of their delicacies.

5 ^aLet the righteous strike me;
It shall be a kindness.
And let him rebuke me;
It shall be as excellent oil;
Let my head not refuse it.
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.

6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the¹ cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
