1A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear <FI>to<Fi> my voice when I call to Thee.
1 Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
2My prayer is prepared--incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands--the evening present.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
3Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
5The righteous doth beat me <FI>in<Fi> kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer <FI>is<Fi> about their vexations.
5 Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
6Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
6 When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
8But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, <FI>are<Fi> mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
8 For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
