¹ LORD, I cry unto Thee! Make haste unto me! Give ear unto my voice when I cry unto Thee.

² Let my prayer be set before Thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

³ Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

⁴ Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.

⁵ Let the righteous smite me: it shall be a kindness. And let him reprove me: it shall be as an excellent oil, which shall not break my head; for yet my prayer shall be with them in their calamities.

⁶ When their judges are overthrown onto stony places, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.

⁷ Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

⁸ But mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord; in Thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

⁹ Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the traps of the workers of iniquity.

¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I thereupon escape.
