Psalms 141:5-10

⁵If the righteous strike me, it is a kindness; and if he reprove me, it is as oil poured on the head, my head shall not refuse it; for yet my prayer also is offered in their sufferings.

⁶Are their judges fallen down through means of a rock: then will they listen to my words; for they are pleasant.

⁷As when one cutteth in and splitteth open the earth: so are our bones scattered for the mouth of the grave.

⁸For unto thee, O Eternal Lord, are my eyes directed; in thee do I trust: pour not out my life.

⁹Guard me from the power of the snare which they have laid for me, and the traps of the wrong-doers.

¹⁰Let the wicked fall into their own nets, altogether—while I pass safely by.
