Psalm 141:5-10
New King James Version
5 (A)Let the righteous strike me;
It shall be a kindness.
And let him rebuke me;
It shall be as excellent oil;
Let my head not refuse it.
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the [a]cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave,
As when one plows and breaks up the earth.
8 But (B)my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord;
In You I take refuge;
[b]Do not leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from (C)the snares they have laid for me,
And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 (D)Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
While I escape safely.

for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
