1. Lord, I call on You; hurry to help me.Listen to my voice when I call on You.
2. May my prayer be set before You as incense, the raising of my hands as the evening offering.
3. Lord, set up a guard for my mouth;keep watch at the door of my lips.
4. Do not let my heart turn to any evil thingor perform wicked actswith men who commit sin.Do not let me feast on their delicacies.
5. Let the righteous one strike me —it is an act of faithful love;let him rebuke me —it is oil for my head;let me not refuse it. Even now my prayer is againstthe evil acts of the wicked.
