^1. A Psalm of David. I call upon thee, O LORD; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!

^2. Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!

^3. Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD, keep watch over the door of my lips!

^4. Incline not my heart to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties!

^5. Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness, but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head; for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.

^6. When they are given over to those who shall condemn them, then they shall learn that the word of the LORD is true.

^7. As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land, so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

^8. But my eyes are toward thee, O LORD God; in thee I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!

^9. Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers!

^10. Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, while I escape.
