How to Live Rightly and Safely - Psa 141

 Psalm 141 Lord, Help Me to live rightly and safely

Guard our mouths, Clean our Hearts, Accept Corrections, Watch our Steps

• :1 A Psalm of David.
  • O LORD, I call upon you;hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
• Mouth Guard
  • Psa 141:2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
  • Psa 141:3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
• Heart - No Evil
  • Psa 141:4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!
• Accept Correction
  • Psa 141:5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it.
• Against Evil
  • Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
  • Psa 141:6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff, then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
• Watch Our Steps

  Keep our eyes on God

  and be not tempted

  • Psa 141:7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth, so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
  • Psa 141:8 But my eyes are toward you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
  • Psa 141:9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers!
  • Psa 141:10  Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.

Only when we focus on God and His righteousness, then will our eyes be discerning and not fall in the temptations of evil.
