1. I cry out to you, Lord: Come to me—quickly!Listen to my voice when I cry out to you!
2. Let my prayer stand before you like incense;let my uplifted hands be like the evening offering.
3. Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;keep close watch over the door that is my lips.
4. Don’t let my heart turn aside to evil thingsso that I don’t do wicked things with evildoers,so I don’t taste their delicacies.
5. Instead, let the righteous discipline me;let the faithful correct me!Let my head never reject that kind of fine oil,because my prayers are always against the deeds of the wicked.
