Psalm 141:3–4 (AV) — 3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight--Mark Hall
The life and the lips are conjoined twins. When you separate the one from the other, life will bleed out.
What we think about we talk about and what we talk about we do. --Rand Hummel
We go to church and sing the praises of God, but when our lives do not match that praise, our worship has become vain for our hearts are far from God. David understood this. He understood that his heart’s natural inclination to evil, if left unchecked, would defile his talk, and defiled conversation leads to vile conduct.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing. God, do not let my heart dwell on sinful, evil acts.
Set a watch, keep the door of my mouth and lips. God, prick my conscience concerning the words and attitudes I speak when I talk.
Incline not my heart...to practise wicked works. Lord, if selfish, sinful desires defile my heart and lips, I will live out those desires. O, Lord! Help me practice righteousness and not wickedness!
And let me not eat of their dainties. Lord, don’t let me enjoy sin!

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my Lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You
Let my Lifesong sing to You
Let my Lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my Lifesong sing to You--Mark Hall
