Psalm 141:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 Let a righteous one strike me in kindness,
and let him chasten me.
It is oil for my head;[a] let not my head refuse.
For still my prayer is against their evil deeds.
6 When their judges are thrown down the sides of a cliff,[b]
then they will understand that my words were pleasant.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
