Prayer for Safekeeping from Wickedness
A Psalm of David.
bThe lifting up of my hands as cthe evening sacrifice.
To practice wicked works
With men who work iniquity;
aAnd do not let me eat of their delicacies.
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.
And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
| << Psalms 141:2 | Psalms 141:4 >> |
