Berean Study BibleEnglish Standard Version
1A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.1O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
2May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.2Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
4Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.4Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!
5Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.5Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.6When their judges are thrown over the cliff, then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.7As when one plows and breaks up the earth, so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.8But my eyes are toward you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
9Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.9Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers!
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.
