Psalm 141:3 in context

  1. 1Yahweh, I have called on you.
    Come to me quickly!
    Listen to my voice when I call to you.
  2. 2Let my prayer be set before you like incense;
    the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
  3. 3Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth.
    Keep the door of my lips.
  4. 4Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing,
    to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.
    Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
  5. 5Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness;
    let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head;
    don’t let my head refuse it;
    Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
