¹ LORD, I cry to you: make haste to me; listen to my voice, when I cry to you. ² Let my prayer be set forward before you 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 practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. ⁵ Let the righteous smite me; it will be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it will be an excellent oil, which will not break my head: for yet my prayer also will be in their calamities. ⁶ When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they will hear my words; for they are sweet. ⁷ Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cuts and splits wood on the earth. ⁸ But my eyes are to you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. ⁹ Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. ¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
