Psalms 141:4 Context
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. 6When their Iudges are ouerthrowen in stonie places, they shall heare my words, for they are sweet.
