| 1: LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto
my voice, when I cry unto thee. |
| |
| 2: Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the
lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. |
| |
| 3:
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my
lips. |
| |
| 4: Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked
works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
|
| |
| 5: Let 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. |
| |
| 6: When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall
hear my words; for they are sweet. |
| |
| 7: Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one
cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. |
| |
| 8: But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my
trust; leave not my soul destitute. |
| |
| 9: Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the
gins of the workers of iniquity. |
| |
| 10: Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal
escape. |
