*A psalm of David.*

1. Yahweh, I call to you; come quickly to me! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
2. May my prayer be set before you like incense, the lifting up of my hands like the evening grain offering.
3. Set a guard, Yahweh, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.
4. Do not let my heart turn to anything evil, to take part in wicked deeds with those who do wrong; do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5. Let a righteous person strike me—it is a kindness; let him correct me—it is oil on my head; let my head not refuse it. For my prayer is still against their evil deeds.
6. When their rulers are thrown down the sides of the cliff, they will hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7. As when someone plows and breaks up the ground, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8. But my eyes are on you, Yahweh, my Lord; in you I take refuge; do not pour out my life.
9. Keep me from the trap they have set for me, and from the snares of those who do wrong.
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets together, while I pass by.
