1 A psalm of David. O Lord, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you!
2 May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering!
3 O Lord, place a guard on my mouth! Protect the opening of my lips!
4 Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies.
5 May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil! Indeed, my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds.
6 They will be thrown down the side of a cliff by their judges. They will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
