CLV(i)
1 {A Davidic Psalm{ O Yahweh, I call on You; do hurry to me; Do give ear to my voice when I call on You."
2 May my prayer be established as incense before You, The lifting of my palms as the evening approach present."
3 Do set, O Yahweh, a sentinel for my mouth, A preserver at the door of my lips."
4 O do not turn my heart aside to evil speaking, To practice activities in wickedness with men who are contrivers of lawlessness. And may I dine not at all on their pleasant things;"
5 Should the righteous one beat me, it were a kindness, And should he reprove me; it were oil on my head; May my head not repudiate it at all. But still, my prayer is against their evil deeds;"
6 When they are released into the hands of Our Crag, their Grand Judge, Then they will hear my sayings and see that they are pleasant."
7 As when one is harrowing and rending the earth, So our bones are dispersed at the mouth of the unseen."
8 Indeed toward You, O Yahweh my Lord, are my eyes directed; In You I take refuge; do not empty out my soul."
9 Keep me from the grip of the snare they have set to trap me, And from the traps of contrivers of lawlessness."
10 May the wicked ones each fall into his own nooses, While I pass by altogether."
