3Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
4Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
5The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
6Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
