Psalm 141:1-10
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.
But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge - do not give me over to death. Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Hebrew title, by David. This evening prayer acknowledges the pull of evil as a force to be reckoned with. The psalmist asked God to keep him from the very things he condemns in others, I thought and word and action.
Why?
Prayer be set like incense before the Lord, the word is good and delight to the Lord.
Let my heart not be drawn to what is evil, for this world easy attract our heart into the wicked and turn away from the Lord.
Fix my eyes are fixed on you is the key point. And in you I take refuge.
May God blesses my step do not fall into their nets, but pass by in safety.
How?
No matter what happened to me, distress, pressure, frustrated, fix my eyes on the Lord, my refuge.
