| 1 | A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee. |
| 2 | Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. |
| 3 | Set a guard, O LORD, to my mouth; Keep watch at the door of my lips. |
| 4 | Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To be occupied in deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity; And let me not eat of their dainties. |
| 5 | Let the righteous smite me in kindness, and correct me; Oil so choice let not my head refuse; For still is my prayer because of their wickedness. |
| 6 | Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words, that they are sweet. |
| 7 | As when one cleaveth and breaketh up the earth, Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth. |
| 8 | For mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord; In Thee have I taken refuge, O pour not out my soul. |
| 9 | Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity. |
| 10 | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst I withal escape. |
