  • Prayer for Safekeeping from Wickedness

    A Psalm of David.

    Lord, I cry out to You;
    Make haste to me!
    Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
  • Come to Me Quickly!

    {A Psalm of David.} LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
  • Let my prayer be set before You as incense,
    The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
  • Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
  • Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
    Keep watch over the door of my lips.
  • Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
  • Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
    To practice wicked works
    With men who work iniquity;
    And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
  • 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 strike me;
    It shall be a kindness.
    And let him rebuke me;
    It shall be as excellent oil;
    Let my head not refuse it.
    For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
  • 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.
  • Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the [a]cliff,
    And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
  • When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
  • Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave,
    As when one plows and breaks up the earth.
  • Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
  • But my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord;
    In You I take refuge;
    [b]Do not leave my soul destitute.
  • 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 they have laid for me,
    And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
  • 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,
    While I escape safely.
  • Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
