1LordH3068, I callH7121 upon You; 1hurryH2363 to me! 2ListenH238 to my voiceH6963 when I callH7121 to You!2May my prayerH8605 be 3countedH3559 as 4incenseH7004 beforeH6440 You; The 5raisingH4864 of my handsH3709 as the 6eveningH6153 offeringH4503.3SetH7896 a 7guardH8108, LordH3068, 8over my mouthH6310; KeepH5341 watchH5341 overH5921 the 9doorH1800 of my lipsH8193.410Do not inclineH5186 my heartH3820 to any evilH7451 thingH1697, To practiceH5953 deedsH5949 11of wickednessH7562 With peopleH376 who 12doH6466 wrongH205; And 13may I not tasteH3898 their delicaciesH4516.
5May the 14righteousH6662 strikeH1986 me with mercyH2617 and disciplineH3198 me; It is 15oilH8081 for the headH7218; My headH7218 shall not refuseH5106 it, For my prayerH8605 16is stillH5750 against their evilH7463 deedsH7463.6Their judgesH8199 are 17thrownH8058 downH8058 by the sidesH3027 of the rockH5553, And they hearH8085 my wordsH561, for they areH5276 pleasantH5276.7As when one 18plowsH6398 and breaksH1234 openH1234 the earthH776, Our 19bonesH6106 have been scatteredH6340 at the 20mouthH6310 of 21SheolH7585.
8For my 22eyesH5869 are towardH413 You, 23GodH3068, the LordH136; In You I 24takeH2620 refugeH2620; 25do not 26leaveH6168 me defenselessH6168H5315.9KeepH8104 me from the 2728jawsH3027 of the trapH6341 which they have setH3369 for me, And from the 29snaresH4170 of those who doH6466 wrongH205.10May the wickedH7563 30fallH5307 into their own netsH4364, WhileH5704 I passH5674 byH5674 3132safelyH3162.
