| 1 |
A psalm of David. I call to you, LORD, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. |
|
| 2 |
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. |
|
| 3 |
Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. |
|
| 4 |
Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies. |
|
| 5 |
Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers. |
|
| 6 |
Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken. |
|
| 7 |
They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.” |
|
| 8 |
But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. |
|
| 9 |
Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers, from the snares they have laid for me. |
|
| 10 |
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety. |
