Psalm 141:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;
    keep close watch over the door that is my lips.
⁴ Don’t let my heart turn aside to evil things
        so that I don’t do wicked things with evildoers,
        so I don’t taste their delicacies.

⁵ Instead, let the righteous discipline me;
    let the faithful correct me!
Let my head never reject that kind of fine oil,
    because my prayers are always against the deeds of the wicked.^[a]
