Psalm 141:5-7
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

5 Let the righteous one strike me –
it is an act of faithful love;
let him rebuke me –
it is oil for my head;
let me[a] not refuse it.(A)
Even now my prayer is against
the evil acts of the wicked.[b](B)
6 When their rulers[c] will be thrown off
the sides of a cliff,
the people[d] will listen to my words,
for they are pleasing.(C)

7 As when one ploughs and breaks up the soil,
turning up rocks,
so our[e] bones have been scattered
at the mouth of Sheol.(D)
