1A Psalm of David. O LORD, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You!1A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.2Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.3Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men who do iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.5Let 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.
6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.6When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7As when one plows and breaks open the earth, Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.7Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8For my eyes are toward You, O GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.8But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do iniquity.9Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I pass by safely.10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
