1. Lord, I call to you. Come quickly.Listen to me when I call to you.
2. Let my prayer be like incense placed before you,and my praise like the evening sacrifice.
3. Lord, help me control my tongue;help me be careful about what I say.
4. Take away my desire to do evilor to join others in doing wrong.Don’t let me eat tasty foodwith those who do evil.
5. If a good person punished me, that would be kind.If he corrected me, that would be like perfumed oil on my head.I shouldn’t refuse it.But I pray against those who do evil.
6. Let their leaders be thrown down the cliffs.Then people will know that I have spoken correctly:
7. “The ground is plowed and broken up.In the same way, our bones have been scattered at the grave.”
