1. Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
2. Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3. Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.
4. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness 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 as oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
