Representative Text

Refrain:
Let my prayer arise before you,
arise before you like incense.

1 O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly;
hear my voice when I cry to you.

2 Let my prayer rise before you as incense],
the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. [Refrain]

3 Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord,
and guard the door of my lips.

4 Let not my heart incline to any evil thing;
let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers.

5 But my eyes are turned to you, Lord god;
in you I take refuge; strip me not of my life. [Refrain]
