1O LordH3068, I callH7121 upon You; 1hastenH2363 to me! 2GiveH238 earH238 to my voiceH6963 when I callH7121 to You!2May my prayerH8605 be 3countedH3559 as 4incenseH7004 beforeH6440 You; The 5liftingH4864 up of my handsH3709 as the 6eveningH6153 offeringH4503.3SetH7896 a 7guardH8108, O LordH3068, 8over my mouthH6310; KeepH5341 watchH5341 overH5921 the 9doorH1800 of my lipsH8193.410Do not inclineH5186 my heartH3820 to any evilH7451 thingH1697, To practiceH5953 deedsH5953 11of wickednessH7562 With menH376 who 12doH6466 iniquityH205; And 13do not let me eatH3898 of their delicaciesH4516.
5Let the 14righteousH6662 smiteH1986 me 15in kindnessH2617 and reproveH3198 me; It is 16oilH8081 upon the headH7218; Do not let my headH7218 refuseH5106 it, 17For stillH5750 my prayerH8605 18is 19against their wickedH7463 deedsH7463.6Their judgesH8199 are 20thrownH8058 downH8058 by the sidesH3027 of the rockH5553, And they hearH8085 my wordsH561, for they are pleasantH5276.7As when one 21plowsH6398 and breaksH1234 openH1234 the earthH776, Our 22bonesH6106 have been scatteredH6340 at the 23mouthH6310 of 24SheolH7585.
8For my 25eyesH5869 are towardH413 You, O 26GodH3068, the LordH136; In You I 27takeH2620 refugeH2620; 28do not 29leaveH6168 me defenselessH6168H5315.9KeepH8104 me from the 3031jawsH3027 of the trapH6341 which they have setH3369 for me, And from the 32snaresH4170 of those who doH6466 iniquityH205.10Let the wickedH7563 33fallH5307 into their own netsH4364, WhileH5704 I passH5674 by 3435safelyH3162.
