3
Post a guard at my mouth, God, set a watch at the door of my lips.
4
Don't let me so much as dream of evil or thoughtlessly fall into bad company. And these people who only do wrong - don't let them lure me with their sweet talk!
5
May the Just One set me straight, may the Kind One correct me, Don't let sin anoint my head. I'm praying hard against their evil ways!
6
Oh, let their leaders be pushed off a high rock cliff; make them face the music.
7
Like a rock pulverized by a maul, let their bones be scattered at the gates of hell.
8
But God, dear Lord, I only have eyes for you. Since I've run for dear life to you, take good care of me.
9
Protect me from their evil scheming, from all their demonic subterfuge.
10
Let the wicked fall flat on their faces, while I walk off without a scratch. A David prayer - when he was in the cave.
