NET Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1A psalm of David. O LORD, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you! 1A Psalm of David. O LORD, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
2May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering! 2May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
3O LORD, place a guard on my mouth! Protect the opening of my lips! 3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.
4Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies. 4Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men who do iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil! Indeed, my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds. 5Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.
6They will be thrown down the side of a cliff by their judges. They will listen to my words, for they are pleasant. 6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. 7As when one plows and breaks open the earth, Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8Surely I am looking to you, O sovereign LORD. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! 8For my eyes are toward You, O GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.
9Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set. 9Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do iniquity.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape. 10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I pass by safely.
