2 Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering. 3 Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips.
4 Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness.
Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.8 8 I look to you for help, O Sovereign Lord.
You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me. - Psalm 141
5
5 5 Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say, “You are my place of refuge.
You are all I really want in life.
6 Hear my cry, for I am very low.
Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7 Bring me out of prison so I can thank you.
The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.” - Psalm 142
