Psalms 140:4-8

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.

⁷As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the mouth of the grave.

⁸For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
