Psalms 141:3-4

Context

141:3 O Lord, place a guard on my mouth!

Protect the opening 1  of my lips! 2 

141:4 Do not let me have evil desires, 3 

or participate in sinful activities

with men who behave wickedly. 4 

I will not eat their delicacies. 5 

1 tn Heb “door.” The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

2 sn My mouth…my lips. The psalmist asks God to protect him from speaking inappropriately or sinfully.

3 tn Heb “do not turn my heart toward an evil thing.”

4 tn Heb “to act sinfully in practices in wickedness with men, doers of evil.”

5 sn Their delicacies. This probably refers to the enjoyment that a sinful lifestyle appears to offer.
