1
A Psalm of David. Lord, I cry out to You; Make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
2
Let my prayer be set before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.
4
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice wicked works With men who work iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5
Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6
Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff, And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
