O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands
as the evening sacrifice!
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in
company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies! Let
a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my
head; let my head not refuse it.
But my eyes are toward you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not
defenseless!
Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of
evildoers!
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.
