Prayer for Safekeeping from Wickedness
A Psalm of David.
2 Let my prayer be set before You aas incense,
bThe lifting up of my hands as cthe evening sacrifice.
bThe lifting up of my hands as cthe evening sacrifice.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice wicked works
With men who work iniquity;
aAnd do not let me eat of their delicacies.
To practice wicked works
With men who work iniquity;
aAnd do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 aLet the righteous strike me;
It shall be a kindness.
And let him rebuke me;
It shall be as excellent oil;
Let my head not refuse it.
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
It shall be a kindness.
And let him rebuke me;
It shall be as excellent oil;
Let my head not refuse it.
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the1 cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
