✧A Psalm by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you. ✧2Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. ✧3Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. ✧4Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies. ✧5Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds. ✧6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. ✧7“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” ✧8For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute. ✧9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity. ✧10Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.
