[verse 2] O let my pray'r be now set out as incense in thine eyes: And lifting up of hands devout, as evening sacrifice. [verse 3] And set a careful watch before my hafty mouth, O Lord: And of my lips keep thou the door, against each evil word. [verse 4] Incline my heart to no misdeed, with them that wicked are: Nor let me ever dare to feed of their delicious fare. [verse 5] But let the right'ous smite me, Lord, for that is good for me: And his reproof and sharpest word, a sov'reign balm shall be. Such smiting shall not break my head, for yet my pray'rs likewise Shall willingly be offered in their calamities. [verse 6] Their judges being overthrown, as on the stony street; Then shall they hear my words each one, for they are very sweet, [verse 7] But now about the graves they leave our bones, all scatter'd round; As wood which one doth cut and cleave, lies scatter'd on the ground. [verse 8] But, Lord, mine eyes are unto thee, my trust is in thy grace: O God the Lord, then leave not me in so forlorn a case. [verse 9] O keep me safely from the snare, they laid to take me in: And from the gins of those that are such practisers of sin.

[verse 10] And in their own devised net, Lord let the wicked fall: Ev'n in the net which they did set, whil'st I escape withall.
