1A melody of David. O LORD, I have called to you; hasten to me and listen to my voice when I call to you.2Let my prayer be established before your face as incense, the tribute of my palms as an evening offering.3Set a guard, O LORD, upon my lip; watch over the door of my lips.4Do not incline my heart to a harmful word, to practice wantonness in wickedness with men who work evil, and let me not feed on their delicacies.5Let the righteous smite me with kindness and rebuke me; let the oil on my head not forbid my head, for my prayer continues amid their distresses.6Their judges have been released by the hands of the rock, and they have heard my words, for they were pleasant.7Like one cleaving and breaking up the earth, our bones have been scattered at the lip of Sheol.8For my eyes are toward you, Lord GOD; in you I have sought refuge; do not uncover my soul.9Keep me from the hand of the snare set for me and from the snares of those who work evil.10Let the wicked fall together into their net, while I pass by until I pass.
