2Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the gift of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips,

4So that my heart may not incline to evil things, and practise wicked works with men who work iniquity; let me not eat salt with them.

5Let the righteous teach me and reprove me; let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head since my prayer has been against their evils.

6When their judges are stopped by a strong hand, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

7Like the ploughshare that scatters the earth, let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.

8I have lifted up mine eyes to thee, O LORD; I have trusted in thee; do not reject my soul.

9Keep me from the hand of the proud, for they have set traps for me.

10Let the wicked together fall into their own nets, whilst I shall pass over.
