Psalms 141:4. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity : and let me not eat of their dainties.
That last petition is a very proper one; we are neither to think the thoughts of the wicked, nor to practice their ways, nor to enjoy their pleasures: "Let me not eat of their dainties." There are certain amusements which are fraught with sin: "Let me not eat of their dainties." There are some erroneous doctrines, which are very pleasant to the taste of those who believe them: "Let me not eat of their dainties." There are some sins that seem to have a peculiarly sweet flavor, and so are very attractive to men: "Let me not eat of their dainties."
