Psalm 141:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Incline not mine heart to evil, that I should commit wicked works with them that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their [a]delicates.
5 Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefit: and let [b]him reprove me, and it shall be a precious oil that shall not break mine head: for within a while I shall even [c]pray in their miseries.
6 When their judges shall be cast down in stony places, they shall [d]hear my words, for they are sweet.
