¹ LORD, I cry to thee; make haste to answer me; give ear to my words and accept them.² Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the gift of my hands as the evening sacrifice.³ Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips,⁴ So that my heart may not incline to evil things, and practise wicked works with men who work iniquity; let me not eat salt with them.

⁵ Let the righteous teach me and reprove me; let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head since my prayer has been against their evils.⁶ When their judges are stopped by a strong hand, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.⁷ Like the ploughshare that scatters the earth, let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.⁸ I have lifted up mine eyes to thee, O LORD; I have trusted in thee; do not reject my soul.⁹ Keep me from the hand of the proud, for they have set traps for me.¹⁰ Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, whilst I shall pass over.
