1 Yahweh, I have called on you.

Come to me quickly!

Listen to my voice when I call to you.

2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense;

the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth.

Keep the door of my lips.

4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing,

to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.

Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

5 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.

6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock.

They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth,

our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol."

8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord.

I take refuge in you.

Don’t leave my soul destitute.

9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,

from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets

while I pass by.

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense, the gift of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O LORD, upon my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to do works with ungodliness with the men that work iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.

5 Let the righteous smite me in mercy, and let him reprove me: and let not [a] flattering [evil] prince anoint my head, for my prayer [shall] ever [be] against his evil.

6 Their judges shall be thrown down from strong places; they shall hearken unto my words; for they are sweet.

7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cuts and cleaves [wood] upon the earth.

8 Therefore mine eyes [look] unto thee, O GOD the Lord; in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

9 Keep me from the hands of the snare [which] they have laid for me, and from the snares of the workers of iniquity.

10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, whilst I pass on [ahead] forever.:
