of David. 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 forth before thee incense; the lifting up of my hands the evening sacrifice. |
|
|
|
3
|
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. |
|
|
|
4
|
Incline not my heart to evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. |
|
|
|
5
|
Let the righteous smite me; a kindness: and let him reprove me; an excellent oil, shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also in their calamities. |
|
|
|
6
|
When their judges are overthrown in 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 upon the earth. |
|
|
|
8
|
But mine eyes unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. |
|
|
|
9
|
Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. |
|
|
|
10
|
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. |
