¹A Psalm of David.

O Lord, I have called out to you.

Do hasten to me.

Listen to my voice

When I call out to you.

And the lifting up of hands

As the evening meal-offering.

³O Lord, put a guard on my mouth;

Watch over the door of my lips.

⁴Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,

To engage in wicked practices

With men who commit iniquity.

And may I not eat their delicacies.

⁵Let the righteous man beat me with kindness,

And let him reprove me with oil for the head.

And do not let him withhold it from my head,

For my prayer is still against their wicked deeds.

⁶Their judges will be thrown down at the sides of a rock,

But they will hear my sayings,

For they are pleasant.

⁷As with one who cleaves and splits rocks on earth,

So our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave.

⁸For my eyes look towards you,

O Lord my Lord.

I have put my trust in you;

Do not drain my energy.

⁹Keep me from the grip of the snare

Which they have set for me,

And from the traps of those who commit iniquity.

¹⁰May the wicked fall into their own nets

Until I have completely passed by.
