1  O Lord, I call upon you; ^thasten to me!

Give ear to my voice when I call to you!

2  Let ^umy prayer be counted as incense before you,

and ^vthe lifting up of my hands as ^wthe evening sacrifice!

3  ^xSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

^ykeep watch over the door of my lips!

4  ^zDo not let my heart incline to any evil,

to busy myself with wicked deeds

in company with men who ^awork iniquity,

and ^blet me not eat of their delicacies!
