Psalm 141:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ Lord, help me control what I say.
    Don’t let me say anything bad.
⁴ Take away any desire to do evil.
    Keep me from joining the wicked in doing wrong.
    Help me stay away from their feasts.
⁵ If good people correct me,
    I will consider it a good thing.
If they criticize me,
    I will accept it like a warm welcome.^[a]
But my prayer will always be against the wicked and the evil they do.
