Read in context

Psalms 141:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
