1 Lord, I cry out to You;
Make haste to me!
Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.

2 Let my prayer be set before You ^aas incense,
^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. ‡

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. ‡
