An Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.

1 O LORD, I call upon You; 1hasten to me! 2Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
2 May my prayer be counted as 3incense before You; The 4lifting up of my hands as the 5evening offering.
3 Set a 6guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the 7door of my lips.
4 8Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men who 9do iniquity; And 10do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the 11righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is 12oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer 13is against their wicked deeds.
6 Their judges are 14thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.

Psalm 141:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 141

\\<>\\. This psalm was written about the same time, and upon the same occasion, as that going before and what follows after; even when David was persecuted by Saul, and when he was in great danger of his enemies, and snares were laid for his life.
