3. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my tips.

4. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

5. Let the righteous smite me, {cf15i it shall be} a kindness; and let him reprove me, {cf15i it shall be as} oil upon the head; let not my head refuse it: for even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
