Psalm 141:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Let one who is righteous strike me;
    It is an act of gracious love.
Let him rebuke me,
    because it is oil for my head;
    do not let my head refuse it.
My prayers continuously will be
    against their wicked activities.
⁶ When their judges are thrown off the cliff,
    the people^[a] will hear my words,
        for they are appropriate.

⁷ Just as one plows and breaks up the earth,
    our^[b] bones are scattered
        near the entrance to the place of the dead.^[c]
