Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Psalms 141 Study & Commentary
Psalm 141 is a prayer for sanctification and protection. David asks God to set a watch before his mouth and not to let his heart incline to any evil thing.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Guarding the Mouth: "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips" (v. 3). Our speech is the front line of our sanctification.2. Refining Reproof: The "smiting" of the righteous is a kindness and an "excellent oil" (v. 5). We should value godly correction.
