Set a watch in front of my mouth
Lord, I call out to you. Hurry to me. Hear my voice when I call out to you. Let my prayer be set before you like incense, and my hands lifted up like the evening offering. Set a watch, Lord, over my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. Don't incline my heart to anything evil, to practise wicked works with those who work wrongdoing; and don't let me eat their delicacies. Let the righteous strike me — it'll be a kindness. Let him lift me up — it'll be oil on my head, and my head won't refuse it. But I'll still be praying when they're in trouble. When their judges are thrown down in stony places, they'll hear my words, because they're sweet. Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, like when someone cuts and splits wood on the ground. My eyes are on you, O GOD the Lord. I trust in you; do not leave my soul destitute. Keep me from the trap they've laid for me, and from the snares of the evildoers. Let the wicked fall into their own nets while I go past on my own.
Lord, I call out to you. Hurry to me. Hear my voice when I call out to you. Let my prayer be set in front of you like incense, and my hands lifted up like the evening offering. Set a watch, Lord, in front of my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. Don't bend my heart to any evil thing, to work at wicked doings with men who work wrong. And don't let me eat their fancy food. Let the righteous strike me — it'll be a kindness. Let him pull me up — it'll be oil on my head, and my head won't refuse it. But I'll still be praying when they're in trouble. When their judges are thrown down in stony places, they'll hear my words, because they're sweet. Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, like when someone cuts and splits wood on the ground. But my eyes are on you, Lord God. I take shelter in you. Don't leave my soul with nothing. Keep me from the trap they've laid for me, and from the snares of the workers of wrong. Let the wicked fall into their own nets while I go past on my own.
Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. Let 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. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
