|
|
1. O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
|
||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
|
|
2. Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
|
||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
|
|
3. Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
|
||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
|
|
4. Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!
|
||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
|
|
5. Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

|
|
6. When their judges are thrown over the cliff, then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
|
||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
|
|
7. As when one plows and breaks up the earth, so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
|
||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
|
|
8. But my eyes are toward you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
|
||
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
||
|
|
9. Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers!
|
||
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
||
|
|
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.
