A Psalm by David.

[1] Yahweh, I have called on you.
Come to me quickly!
Listen to my voice when I call to you.
[2] Let my prayer be set before you like incense;
the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
[3] Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth.
Keep the door of my lips.
[4] Don’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.
[5] Let 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.
[6] Their 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.”ⓘ
[8] For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord.
I take refuge in you.
Don’t leave my soul destitute.
[9] Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,
from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
[10] Let the wicked fall together into their own nets
while I pass by.

A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732

[1] Lord, H3068 I cry H7121 unto thee: make haste H2363 unto me;
Give ear H238 unto my voice, H6963 when I cry H7121 unto thee.
[2] Let my prayer H8605 be set forth H3559 before H6440 thee as incense; H7004
And the lifting up H4864 of my hands H3709 as the evening H6153 sacrifice. H4503
[3] Set H7896 a watch, H8108 O Lord, H3068 before my mouth; H6310
Keep H5341 the door H1817 of my lips. H8193
[4] Incline H5186 not H408 my heart H3820 to any evil H7451 thing, H1697
To practise H5953 wicked H7562 works H5949 with H854 men H376 that work H6466 iniquity: H205 And let me not eat H3898 of their dainties. H4516
[5] Let the righteous H6662 smite H1986 me;
It shall be a kindness: H2617 And let him reprove H3198 me;
It shall be an excellent H7218 oil, H8081 which shall not break H5106 my head: H7218
For H3588 yet my prayer H8605 also shall be in their calamities. H7451
[6] When their judges H8199 are overthrown H8058 in stony H5553 places, H3027
They shall hear H8085 my words; H561 for H3588 they are sweet. H5276
[7] Our bones H6106 are scattered H6340 at the grave’s H7585 mouth, H6310
As when one cutteth H6398 and cleaveth H1234 wood upon the earth. H776
[8] But mine eyes H5869 are unto thee, O God H3069 the Lord: H136
In thee is my trust; H2620 leave H6168 not H408 my soul H5315 destitute. H6168§
[9] Keep H8104 me from the snares H3027 H6341 which they have laid H3369 for me, and the gins H4170 of the workers H6466 of iniquity. H205
[10] Let the wicked H7563 fall H5307 into their own nets, H4364 whilst that I withal H3162 escape. H5674§
