⁰A psalm to David.

¹Yahweh, I called to you; hasten to me. Give ear to my voice when I call to you.

²May my prayer be established as incense before you, the lifting of my palms as the evening grain offering.

³Set a guard, Yahweh, to my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.

⁴Do not turn my heart to an evil word, to practice deeds in wickedness with men who do iniquity; and I will not eat of their delicacies.

⁵Let the righteous strike me in loyal love, and let him rebuke me; the oil of the head, let my head not refuse it, for still my prayer is against their evil deeds.

⁶Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the crag; and they will hear my words, for they are pleasant.

⁷Like one who plows and breaks open the land, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

⁸For my eyes are toward you, O Yahweh, O Lord; in you I have taken refuge; do not pour out my being.

⁹Keep me from the grip of the trap they have laid for me, and from the snares of those who do iniquity.

¹⁰Let the wicked fall together in their own nets, until I pass by.
