Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incense, and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.

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

{A Psalm of David} LORD, I call upon thee; haste thee unto me, and consider my voice, when I cry unto thee.

Let the righteous rather smite me friendly, and reprove me: so will I take it as though he had poured oil on my head; it shall not hurt my head. Yea, I will pray yet for their wickedness.

O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing, to be minded as the ungodly or wicked men; lest I eat of such things as please them.

But mine eyes look unto thee, O LORD God; in thee is my trust. O cast not out my soul.

Our bones lie scattered before the pit, like as when one graveth and diggeth up the ground.

Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together, and let me ever escape them.

Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me, and from the traps of the wicked doers.

Let their judges be overthrown in stony places, that they may hear my words; for they are sweet.
