1 Lord, I cry unto You; make haste to me;give ear to my voice, when I cry unto You.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before You as incense,and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil,to practice wicked deedswith men who do iniquity,and do not let me eat of their delights.
5 Let the righteous man strike me;it shall be a kindness.Let him rebuke me;it shall be oil for my head;let my head not refuse it.For my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6 When their judges are thrown to stony places,then they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 As when one plows to break up the land,so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8 But my eyes are unto You, O God my Lord,in You is my trust; do not leave my soul defenseless.
9 Keep me from the snares that they have laid for me,and the traps of those who do iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,while I pass by and escape.
