Context
Psalm 141
141:1 A psalm of David . O Lord , I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you!
141:2 May you accept my prayer like incense , my uplifted hands like the evening offering !
141:3 O Lord , place a guard on my mouth ! Protect the opening of my lips !
141:4 Do not let me have evil desires , or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly . I will not eat their delicacies .
141:5 May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil ! Indeed , my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds .
141:6 They will be thrown down the side of a cliff by their judges . They will listen to my words , for they are pleasant .
141:7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil , so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol .
141:8 Surely I am looking to you, O sovereign Lord . In you I take shelter . Do not expose me to danger!
