Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Verse 4 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.

Neige mein Herz nicht auf etwas Böses, ein gottloses Wesen zu führen mit den Übeltätern, daß ich nicht esse von dem, was ihnen geliebt.
No dejes se incline mi corazón a cosa mala, A hacer obras impías Con los que obran iniquidad, Y no coma yo de sus deleites.
No inclines mi corazón hacia nada malo, a practicar actos malvados con quienes hacen el mal; que no coma yo de sus manjares.
N'entraîne pas mon coeur à des choses mauvaises, A des actions coupables avec les hommes qui font le mal, Et que je ne prenne aucune part à leurs festins!
Non lasciar che il mio cuore s’inchini a cosa alcuna malvagia, Per darmi a commettere opere empie, Con gli uomini operatori d’iniquità; E fa’ che io non mangi delle lor delizie
Não inclines o meu coração a coisas más, a praticar obras más, com aqueles que praticam a iniqüidade; e não coma das suas delícias.
不要使我的心偏向邪惡的事, 以致我和作惡的人一同行惡; 也不叫我吃他們的美食。
