Psalm 141:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Help me to guard my words
    whenever I say something.
⁴ Don't let me want to do evil
or waste my time doing wrong
    with wicked people.
Don't let me even taste
    the good things they offer.

⁵ Let your faithful people
    correct and punish me.
My prayers condemn the deeds
    of those who do wrong,
so don't let me be friends
    with any of them.
