Psalm 141

Psalm 141
Psalm 141 presents urgent need, and counts upon the desired answer. Practical points for all believers, whether in trial or not are seen in verses 2-6.
In verse 2, prayer is to be as according to God's holy character; verse 3 reminds us of our constant need to have a watch before our mouths (James 3:22For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. (James 3:2)). Holy separation from evil is in verse 4; verse 5 is the acceptance of chastisement as needed correction, and verse 6 gives the desire that the wicked shall yet be broken down, so as to receive the Word of God.
