Psalm 141:3-5
Christian Standard Bible

3 Lord, set up a guard for my mouth;
keep watch at the door of my lips.(A)
4 Do not let my heart turn to any evil thing
or perform wicked acts with evildoers.
Do not let me feast on their delicacies.(B)
5 Let the righteous one strike me—
it is an act of faithful love;
let him rebuke me—
it is oil for my head;
let me[a] not refuse it.(C)
Even now my prayer is against
the evil acts of the wicked.[b](D)
