Psalm 141:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds [a]of wickedness
With people who (B)do wrong;
And (C)may I not taste their delicacies.
5 May the (D)righteous strike me with mercy and discipline me;
It is (E)oil for the head;
My head shall not refuse it,
For my prayer (F)is still against their evil deeds.
6 Their judges are (G)thrown down by the sides of the rock,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.

so that I take part in wicked deeds(B)
along with those who are evildoers;
do not let me eat their delicacies.(C)
5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me(D)—that is oil on my head.(E)

for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
