1. Hashem, I cry unto Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.
2. Let my tefillah be set forth before Thee like ketoret; and the lifting up of my hands as the minchat erev.
3. Be shomer, Hashem, over my mouth; guard the door of my lips.
4. Let not my lev incline to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
5. Let the tzaddik strike me; it shall be chesed; and let him reprove me; it shall be shemen, which my rosh shall not refuse; for still shall my tefillah be against their evil deeds.
6. Their shofetim are overthrown in stony places; they hear my words; for they are pleasant.
7. Atzameinu (our bones) are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon ha'aretz.
