Psalm 141 is the prayer of the individual. The spirituality reflected in this prayer is decidedly more reflective and introspective than what is found in most. The speaker admits the possibility that the line between himself and the wicked is not sharply drawn. They are not merely enemies; they are also a temptation (esp. v. 4). Moreover, God is called upon not only to ensure the wicked are entrapped (v. 10) but also to direct the speaker’s heart (esp. vv. 34). God is to influence social circumstances as well as one’s internal choices and will.
