A Psalm of David.
Lord, I
cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto
my voice, when I cry unto thee.
02 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as
incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the
evening sacrifice.
03 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the
door of my lips.
04 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.
05 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.

06 When their judges are overthrown in stony
places, they shall hear my words; for they are
sweet.
07 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth,
as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the
earth.
08 But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord:
in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
09 Keep me from the snares which they have laid
for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
whilst that I withal escape.
