Psalm 141:3-5
Darby Translation

3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.

5 Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.

Psalm 141:3-5
New International Version

3 Set a guard over my mouth,(A) Lord;
    keep watch over the door of my lips.(B)
4 Do not let my heart(C) be drawn to what is evil
    so that I take part in wicked deeds(D)
along with those who are evildoers;
    do not let me eat their delicacies.(E)

5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
    let him rebuke me(F)—that is oil on my head.(G)
My head will not refuse it,
    for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
