| 1. |
A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee. |
| 2. | Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. |
| 3. | Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. |
| 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. |
| 5. | Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. |
| 6. | When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. |
| 7. | Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. |
| 8. | But my eyes are to thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. |
| 9. | Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. |
| 10. | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I escape. |
