| 1 | A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee. | O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you! | A psalm of David. I call to you, LORD, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. | |
| 2 | Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. | Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! | May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. | |
| 3 | Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. | Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! | Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. | |
| 4 | Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. | Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies! | Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies. | |
| 5 | Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head; let not my head refuse it: for even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue. | Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds. | Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers. | |
| 6 | Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. | When their judges are thrown over the cliff, then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant. | Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken. | |
| 7 | As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth. | As when one plows and breaks up the earth, so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. | They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.” | |
| 8 | For mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee do I put my trust; leave not my soul destitute. | But my eyes are toward you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless! | But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. | |
| 9 | Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity. | Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers! | Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers, from the snares they have laid for me. | |
| 10 | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely. | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety. | |
