¹ A Psalm of David. Yahweh, I have called on you; hurry to me: Give ear to my voice, when I call to you.² May my prayer be placed as incense before you; The lifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice.³ Set a watch, O Yahweh, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.⁴ Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, To do deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And don't let me eat of their dainties.

⁵ Let the righteous smite me [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil on the head; Don't let my head refuse it: For continually my prayer is against their evil deeds.⁶ Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.⁷ As a millstone broken on the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.⁸ For my eyes are to you, O Yahweh the Lord: In you I take refuge; don't leave my soul destitute.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, While I nevertheless escape.
