Psalm 141:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]delicates.
5 Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefit: and let [b]him reprove me, and it shall be a precious oil that shall not break mine head: for within a while I shall even [c]pray in their miseries.
6 When their judges shall be cast down in stony places, they shall [d]hear my words, for they are sweet.

New International Version
Psalm 141:4-6
New International Version
4 Do not let my heart(A) be drawn to what is evil
so that I take part in wicked deeds(B)
along with those who are evildoers;
do not let me eat their delicacies.(C)
5 Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me(D)—that is oil on my head.(E)
My head will not refuse it,
for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
6 Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,(F)
and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
