A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}. LORD{H3068}, I cry{H7121}{(H8804)} unto thee: make haste{H2363}{(H8798)} unto me; give ear{H238}{(H8685)} unto my voice{H6963}, when I cry{H7121}{(H8800)} unto thee.

Let my prayer{H8605} be set forth{H3559}{(H8735)} before{H6440} thee as incense{H7004}; and the lifting up{H4864} of my hands{H3709} as the evening{H6153} sacrifice{H4503}.

Set{H7896}{(H8798)} a watch{H8108}, O LORD{H3068}, before my mouth{H6310}; keep{H5341}{(H8798)} the door{H1817} of my lips{H8193}.

Incline{H5186}{(H8686)} not my heart{H3820} to any evil{H7451} thing{H1697}, to practise{H5953}{(H8705)} wicked{H7562} works{H5949} with men{H376} that work{H6466}{(H8802)} iniquity{H205}: and let me not eat{H3898}{(H8799)} of their dainties{H4516}.

Let the righteous{H6662} smite{H1986}{(H8799)} me; it shall be a kindness{H2617}: and let him reprove{H3198}{(H8686)} me; it shall be an excellent{H7218} oil{H8081}, which shall not break{H5106}{(H8686)} my head{H7218}: for yet my prayer{H8605} also shall be in their calamities{H7451}.

When their judges{H8199}{(H8802)} are overthrown{H8058}{(H8738)} in stony{H5553} places{H3027}, they shall hear{H8085}{(H8804)} my words{H561}; for they are sweet{H5276}{(H8804)}.

Our bones{H6106} are scattered{H6340}{(H8738)} at the grave's{H7585} mouth{H6310}, as when one cutteth{H6398}{(H8802)} and cleaveth{H1234}{(H8802)} wood upon the earth{H776}.

But mine eyes{H5869} are unto thee, O GOD{H3069} the Lord{H136}: in thee is my trust{H2620}{(H8804)}; leave{H6168} not my soul{H5315} destitute{H6168}{(H8762)}.

Keep{H8104}{(H8798)} me from the snares{H3027}{H6341} which they have laid{H3369}{(H8804)} for me, and the gins{H4170} of the workers{H6466}{(H8802)} of iniquity{H205}.

Let the wicked{H7563} fall{H5307}{(H8799)} into their own nets{H4364}, whilst that I withal{H3162} escape{H5674}{(H8799)}.
