Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 141:1-5
David’s cry to the Lord does not simply focus on the attacks from his enemies, but he also recognizes his own problems and seeks the help of the Lord in them. It is such an important prayer that is mentioned in verse 3: “Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth: keep the door of my lips.” That’s where most of the trouble begins – our mouth! We say things we will later regret. What we say, even about our enemies, will often come back to hurt us. David is concerned that he not respond in kind to the wicked around him. That is simple to do. The “wicked words” of our enemies often become the same things that we do. How we need the help of the Lord!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “LORD, I cry unto Thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.”
