Psalm 141:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keep the [a]door of my lips.
4 Incline not mine heart to evil, that I should commit wicked works with them that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their [b]delicates.
5 Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefit: and let [c]him reprove me, and it shall be a precious oil that shall not break mine head: for within a while I shall even [d]pray in their miseries.
