Listen when I cry to you for help!

and my upraised hands as an evening offering.

Psa 141:3Take control of what I say, O LORD,
and guard my lips.

or take part in acts of wickedness.
Don’t let me share in the delicacies
of those who do wrong.

Psa 141:5

Psa 141:5Let the godly strike me!
It will be a kindness!
If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.
Don’t let me refuse it.
But I pray constantly
against the wicked and their deeds.

the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.

the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.[fn]

You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me.

from the snares of those who do wrong.
