1(A Psalm of David.) LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

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

3Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works 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 an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

6When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

7Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

8But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

9Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

1A Psalme of Dauid. Lord, I crie vnto thee, make haste vnto mee: giue eare vnto my voice, when I crie vnto thee.

2Let my prayer bee set foorth before thee as incense: and the lifting vp of my hands as the Euening sacrifice.

3Set a watch (O Lord) before my mouth: keepe the doore of my lips.

4Incline not my heart to any euill thing, to practise wicked workes with men that worke iniquitie: and let mee not eate of their dainties.

5Let the righteous smite mee, it shalbe a kindnesse: and let him reprooue me, it shalbe an excellent oile, which shall not breake my head: for yet my prayer also shalbe in their calamities.

6When their Iudges are ouerthrowen in stonie places, they shall heare my words, for they are sweet.

7Our bones are scattered at the graues mouth: as when one cutteth and cleaueth wood vpon the earth.

8But mine eyes are vnto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust, leaue not my soule destitute.

9Keepe mee from the snare which they haue laide for me, and the grinnes of the workers of iniquitie.

10Let the wicked fall into their owne nets: whilest that I withal escape.

1 A psalm of David. LORD, I call to you; hasten to me; listen to my plea when I call.

2 Let my prayer be incense before you; my uplifted hands an evening offering.

3 Set a guard, LORD, before my mouth,keep watch over the door of my lips.

4 Do not let my heart incline to evil, to perform deeds in wickedness. On the delicacies of evildoers let me not feast.

5 Let a righteous person strike me; it is mercy if he reproves me. Do not withhold oil from my head while my prayer opposes their evil deeds.

6 May their leaders be cast over the cliff,so that they hear that my speeches are pleasing.

7 Like the plowing and breaking up of the earth, our bones are strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

8 For my eyes are upon you, O LORD, my Lord; in you I take refuge; do not take away my soul.

9 Guard me from the trap they have set for me, from the snares of evildoers.

10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while only I pass over them safely.

v 1,2 David wants his prayer to be as effective as the 3:00 PM evening sacrifice.

 

v 3-7 We should all learn and heed v 3, to watch what we say. He continues to ask for sanctification and counsel of the righteous, 2 Tim. 4:2, Heb. 3:13.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 8-10 He prayed for God’s protection by allowing the wick to fall in their own traps.
