1
LORD I cry unto thee make haste unto me give ear unto my voice when I cry unto thee
2
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice
3
Set a watch O LORD before my mouth keep the door of my lips
4
Incline not my heart to any evil thing to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity and let me not eat of their dainties
5
Let 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
6
When their judges are overthrown in stony places they shall hear my words for they are sweet
7
Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth
8
But mine eyes are unto thee O GOD the Lord in thee is my trust leave not my soul destitute
9
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me and the gins of the workers of iniquity
10
Let the wicked fall into their own nets whilst that I withal escape
