Psalms 141:7 in context

Psalms 141:4–10

4

Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing,

to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.

Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

5

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness;

let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head;

don’t let my head refuse it;

Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

6

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock.

They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

7
Selected verse

“As when one plows and breaks up the earth,

our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”

8

For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord.

I take refuge in you.

Don’t leave my soul destitute.

9

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,

from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

10

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets

while I pass by.
