Catechesis Notes for the Week — Psalm 141: An Evening Prayer—Psalm 141 is an evening prayer in which we cry out to the Lord to guard our lips from speaking falsehood or harmful words, and in which we ask Him to deliver our hearts from the practice of evil. Our prayer is like ascending incense when it is offered out of faith in God’s merciful protection in Christ alone. We pray that the Lord would defend us from lying words and overthrow the plots of those who are set against us. If we take matters into our own hands, we will surely fail. But reliance upon the Lord alone carries with it the promise of His absolute protection from our enemies and deliverance from every evil that is set against us. There are many traps and snares laid out for us by the wicked, but the Lord delivers those whose eyes are fixed upon Him. He alone is our refuge and deliverer from all evil.
