¹ O Lord, I call upon you; ^(a)hasten to me!
    Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
² Let ^(b)my prayer be counted as incense before you,
    and ^(c)the lifting up of my hands as ^(d)the evening sacrifice!

^3 (e)Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
    ^(f)keep watch over the door of my lips!
^4 (g)Do not let my heart incline to any evil,
    to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with men who ^(h)work iniquity,
    and ⁽ⁱ⁾let me not eat of their delicacies!

^5 (j)Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
    let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
    let my head not refuse it.
Yet ^(k)my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
⁶ When their judges are ^(l)thrown over the cliff,^[a]
    then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
⁷ As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
    so shall our bones ^(m)be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.^[b]

⁸ But ⁽ⁿ⁾my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;
    ^(o)in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!^[c]
9 Keep me from ^(p)the trap that they have laid for me
    and from the snares of evildoers!
¹⁰ Let the wicked ^(q)fall into their own nets,
    while I pass by safely.
