1LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me;
Give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense;
And the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth;
Keep the door of my lips.
4Incline not my heart to any evil thing,
To practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
5Let the righteous smite me;
It shall be a kindness: And let him reprove me;
It shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head:
For yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
