Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Let the righteous{H6662} smite{H1986}{(H8799)} me; it shall be a kindness{H2617}: and let him reprove{H3198}{(H8686)} me; it shall be an excellent{H7218} oil{H8081}, which shall not break{H5106}{(H8686)} my head{H7218}: for yet my prayer{H8605} also shall be in their calamities{H7451}.
Strong's King James
The righteous doth beat me in kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer is about their vexations.
