|
1 |
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 plows 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.
