Psalms 141:3
Psalms 141:3 New Century Version (NCV)
LORD, help me control my tongue; help me be careful about what I say.
Psalms 141:3 New Living Translation (NLT)
Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips.
Psalms 141:3-7 The Message (MSG)
Post a guard at my mouth, GOD, set a watch at the door of my lips. Don’t let me so much as dream of evil or thoughtlessly fall into bad company. And these people who only do wrong— don’t let them lure me with their sweet talk! May the Just One set me straight, may the Kind One correct me, Don’t let sin anoint my head. I’m praying hard against their evil ways! Oh, let their leaders be pushed off a high rock cliff; make them face the music. Like a rock pulverized by a maul, let their bones be scattered at the gates of hell.
