English Standard Version
Psalm 141:4-6
English Standard Version
4 (A)Do not let my heart incline to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with men who (B)work iniquity,
and (C)let me not eat of their delicacies!
5 (D)Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet (E)my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6 When their judges are (F)thrown over the cliff,[a]
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.

so that I take part in wicked deeds(B)
along with those who are evildoers;
do not let me eat their delicacies.(C)
5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me(D)—that is oil on my head.(E)

and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
