- 1
- A Psalm, by David.
O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.
- 2
- My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.
- 3
- Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
- 4
- Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
- 5
- The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness.
And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.
- 6
- Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
- 7
- As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.
- 8
- But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
- 9
- Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
- 10
- The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
