Set a guard, LORD, before my mouth,

keep watch over the door of my lips.

Do not let my heart incline to evil,

to perform deeds in wickedness.

On the delicacies of evildoers

let me not feast.

Let a righteous person strike me; it is mercy if he reproves me.

Do not withhold oil from my head

while my prayer opposes their evil deeds.

May their leaders be cast over the cliff,

so that they hear that my speeches are pleasing.

Like the plowing and breaking up of the earth,

our bones are strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

For my eyes are upon you, O LORD, my Lord;

in you I take refuge; do not take away my soul.

Guard me from the trap they have set for me,

from the snares of evildoers.
 
Beautiful. Thank you. I couldn’t help think of my workplace situation. But the Lord sees the offended and the offender. I am starting to think often of the Psalms and want to start reading them more.
