An Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.

1 O LORD, I call upon You; ¹hasten to me! ²Give ear to my voice when I call to You! 2 May my prayer be ^acounted as ³incense before You; The ⁴lifting up of my hands as the ⁵evening offering. 3 Set a ⁶guard, O LORD, ^bover my mouth ; Keep watch over the ⁷door of my lips. 4 ⁸Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds ^cof wickedness With men who ⁹do iniquity ; And ¹⁰do not let me eat of their delicacies. 5 Let the ¹¹righteous smite me ^din kindness and reprove me; It is ¹²oil upon the head ; Do not let my head refuse it, ^eFor still my prayer ¹³is ^fagainst their wicked deeds. 6 Their judges are ¹⁴thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant. 7 As when one ¹⁵plows and breaks open the earth, Our ¹⁶bones have been scattered at the ¹⁷mouth of ^gSheol. 8 For my ¹⁸eyes are toward You, O ^hGOD, the Lord ; In You I ¹⁹take refuge ; ²⁰do not ⁱleave me defenseless . 9 Keep me from the ^j²¹jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the ²²snares of those who do iniquity. 10 Let the wicked ²³fall into their own nets, While I pass by ^k²⁴safely.
