Ps. 141 is a prayer for guidance and protection. The psalmist begins with an appeal for acceptance by the Lord (vs. 1, 2), begs that his speech may be kept pure (vs. 3, 4), expresses his desire to be censured by the righteous rather than to receive deceitful flattery from the ungodly (vs. 5, 6), and closes with a request that he may be rescued from the cruel schemes of his enemies (vs. 7-10).
On the authorship of the psalm see PP 667. On the superscription, see pp. 616, 627.
Make haste.
God is pleased to have His children earnest in their petitions to the point of holy boldness.
