Psalm 141:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 May my prayer be [a]counted as (A)incense before You;
The (B)raising of my hands as the (C)evening offering.
3 Set a (D)guard, Lord, [b]over my mouth;
Keep watch over the (E)door of my lips.
4 (F)Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds [c]of wickedness
With people who (G)do wrong;
And (H)may I not taste their delicacies.

Psalm 141:2-4
Common English Bible
2 Let my prayer stand before you like incense;
let my uplifted hands be like the evening offering.
3 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;
keep close watch over the door that is my lips.
4 Don’t let my heart turn aside to evil things
so that I don’t do wicked things with evildoers,
so I don’t taste their delicacies.
