Psalm 141:1 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 141.

1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.

3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.

9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
