Lord, I cry out to You; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense, 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 incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; it shall be as excellent oil; let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff, and they hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, as when one ploughs and breaks up the earth.
8 But my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord; in You I take refuge; do not leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape safely.
