Psalm 141

¹ A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

² May my prayer be set before You like incense; my uplifted hands, like the evening offering.

³ Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

⁴ Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

⁵ Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
