Psalms, Chapter 141
David prays for acceptance and assistance, ver. 1 - 6. For the deliverance of himself and friends, ver. 7 - 10. A psalm of David.

4: Incline not - Suffer it not to be inclined. Heart - Keep me not only from wicked speeches, but from all evil motions of my heart. Dainties - The pleasures or advantages which they gain by their wickedness.

5: Smite - By reproofs. Break - Not hurt, but heal and greatly refresh me. Calamities - In the calamities of those righteous persons who reproved him. When they came into such calamities as those wherein he was involved he would pity them and pray for them.

6: Judges - The chief of mine enemies. Overthrown - Or, cast down headlong by thine exemplary vengeance. Hear - Hearken unto my counsels and offers which now they despise.

7: Our bones - Our case is almost as hopeless as of those who are dead, and whose bones are scattered in several places.
