Psalm 141:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴Do not turn my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with those who work iniquity;
do not let me eat of their delicacies.

⁵Let the righteous strike me;
    let the faithful correct me.
Never let the oil of the wicked anoint my head,^[a]
    for my prayer is continually^[b] against their wicked deeds.
⁶When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
    then they shall learn that my words were pleasant.
