1411 O Lord , I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! 2 May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering . 3 Set a guard , O Lord , over my mouth ; Keep watch over the door of my lips . 4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing , To practice deeds of wickedness With men who do iniquity ; And do not let me eat of their delicacies .
5 Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head ; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds . 6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock , And they hear my words , for they are pleasant . 7 As when one plows and breaks open the earth , Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol . 8 For my eyes are toward You, O GOD , the Lord ; In You I take refuge ; do not leave me defenseless e . 9 Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do iniquity . 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets , While I pass by safely .
