1Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

2Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness 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 as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.

6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
