- O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you.
- May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
- Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
- Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.
- Let a righteous man strike me--it is a kindness; let him rebuke me--it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;
|
- Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
- Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
- Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
- 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.
- Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
|
- their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
- They will say, "As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave. "
- But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge--do not give me over to death.
- Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers.
- Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
|
- When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
- Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
- But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
- Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
- Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
