Psalm 141 - a lid on my lips

No lid on my lips necessary to re-post this psalm that I just happen to be reading. Am I totally out to lunch when I say that David was taught a different kind of war that the nations have not yet learned.

The word painting in verse 4 on 'wantonly wanton in wickedness with others' (wow) is striking. perhaps slightly difficult to sing in this major-minor mode.
