O lord, I cried out to you. Listen to me! Take heed to the voice of my supplication in my crying to you!
May be straightened as incense before you; of my hands as a sacrifice at evening.
Set, O lord, a watch for my mouth, and door for my lips!
You should not turn aside my heart to words of wickedness, to make excuses for sins with men working lawlessness; and in no way shall I associate myself with their choice ones.
shall correct with mercy, and reprove me; but the oil of the sinner, let it not anoint my head! For still yet their good-pleasures.
were swallowed down They shall hear my sayings, for they are a delight.
As thick ground was broken asunder upon the earth, were dispersed by Hades.
For unto you, O lord, O Lord, Upon you I hoped; you should not take away in return
Keep me from a snare which they concocted against me! and from obstacles of the ones working lawlessness.
