3Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, And a strong door about my lips.
4Incline not my heart to evil things, To employ pretexts for sins, With men who work iniquity: And 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.
