Psalms 141:6

Read in context

Psalms 141:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
