Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 141 of Psalms. Psalm 141 is a prayer of spiritual vigilance. The psalmist asks that his prayer be like incense and that God guard his mouth so he will not participate in the evil of others. He also asks to receive the correction of the righteous as an act of kindness. The request to be preserved from the traps of the wicked shows that integrity requires both inner self-control and external protection.

HERR, behüte meinen Mund und bewahre meine Lippen.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda a mi boca: Guarda la puerta de mis labios.
Pon, Jehová, una guardia a mi boca; vigila la puerta de mis labios.
Eternel, mets une garde à ma bouche, Veille sur la porte de mes lèvres!
O Signore, poni guardia alla mia bocca; Guarda l’uscio delle mie labbra.
Põe, ó SENHOR, uma guarda à minha boca; guarda a porta dos meus lábios.
耶和華啊,求你看守我的口, 把守我的嘴唇!
