1 ¶ LORD, I have called unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

2 L et my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the gift of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3 S et a watch, O LORD, upon my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 I ncline not my heart to any evil thing, to do works with ungodliness with the men that work iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.

5 ¶ Let the righteous smite me in mercy, and let him reprove me: and let not a flattering evil prince anoint my head, for my prayer shall ever be against his evil.

6 T heir judges shall be thrown down from strong places; they shall hearken unto my words; for they are sweet.

7 O ur bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the earth.

8 T herefore mine eyes look unto thee, O GOD the Lord; in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

9 K eep me from the hands of the snare which they have laid for me, and from the snares of the workers of iniquity.

10 L et the wicked fall together into their own nets, whilst I pass on ahead forever.
