3
Lord, set up a guard for my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Psalms 141:3 In-Context
1
I call to you, LORD, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you.
2
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
3
Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
4
Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.
5
Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
