Read my Psalm 141 Meditation: How ’bout Them Apples?
Read Psalm 141 from the ESV
How easy life can be
When the gap is plain to see
Between men of ill intent
And others heaven-sent.
How clear my prayers are
To heaven’s bright throne afar
For protection from such men
Who lure to sinful den.
But life is not so clear
When the evil men are dear,
When the light and dark don’t part
In friends’ and my own heart.
The days are dark and bleak
When the wicked men will seek
To destroy good servant’s life
And trample it with strife.
Yet harm I don’t refuse
From the servants you would choose,
From the servants who would cleanse
And make us holy men.
Lord, keep me from sin’s harm
And protect me with your arm.
Lord, protect my battered soul -
Your love will make me whole.
