3. Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
4. Do not let my heart incline to any evil,to busy myself with wicked deedsin company with men who work iniquity,and let me not eat of their delicacies!
5. 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 my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6. When their judges are thrown over the cliff,then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7. As when one plows and breaks up the earth,so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8. But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
