## My Prayer as Incense Before You
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
O Yahweh, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
May my prayer be established as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Set a guard, O Yahweh, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds in wickedness With men who are workers of iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Let the righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their evil deeds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the cliff, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
As when one plows and splits open the earth, Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
For my eyes are toward You, O Yahweh, O Lord; In You I take refuge; do not pour out my soul _to death_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of workers of iniquity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, As for myself--meanwhile, I am passing by.
