Psalms 141

Psalms 141 — John Wesley

141:1–3

Dwell - Shall constantly enjoy thy gracious and powerful presence.

141:4

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.

141:5

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.

141:6

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.

141:7

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