Psalms 141:3 Context
1[A Psalme of Dauid.] Lord, I crie vnto thee, make haste vnto mee: giue eare vnto my voice, when I crie vnto thee. 2Let my prayer bee set foorth before thee as incense: and the lifting vp of my hands as the Euening sacrifice. 3Set a watch (O Lord) before my mouth: keepe the doore of my lips. 4Incline not my heart to any euill thing, to practise wicked workes with men that worke iniquitie: and let mee not eate of their dainties. 5Let the righteous smite mee, it shalbe a kindnesse: and let him reprooue me, it shalbe an excellent oile, which shall not breake my head: for yet my prayer also shalbe in their calamities.
