³ O Yahweh, set a guard at my mouth.
    Keep watch over the door of my lips.
⁴ Do not let me be persuaded to do anything evil
    or to become involved with wickedness,
        with people who are troublemakers.
            Do not let me taste their delicacies.

⁵ A righteous person may strike me or correct me out of kindness.
    It is like lotion for my head.
        My head will not refuse it,
            because my prayer is directed against evil deeds.
