PSALM 2041

Prayer of a Just Man
To Be Saved from Wickednes

A psalm of David.

1 LORD, I call to you; come quickly to help me;
listen to my plea when I call.

2 Let my prayer be incense before you;
my uplifted hands an evening sacrifice.

3 Set a guard, LORD, before my mouth,
a gatekeeper at my lips.

4 Do not let my heart incline to evil, or yield to any sin.
I will never feast upon the fine food of evildoers.

5 Let the just strike me; that is kindness;
let them rebuke me; that is oil for my head.
All this I shall not refuse,
but will pray despite these trials.

6 When their leaders are cast over the cliff,
all will learn that my prayers were heard.

7 As when a farmer plows a field into broken clods,
so their bones will be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.

 

8 My eyes are upon you, O GOD, my Lord;
in you I take refuge; do not strip me of life.

9 Guard me from the trap they have set for me,
from the snares of evildoers.

10 Into their own nets let all the wicked fall,
while I make good my own escape.
