Come to Me Quickly
A Psalm by David.
1 O LORD, I have called on you.
Come to me quickly!
Hear my voice when I call to you.
2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense,
the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth.
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
to practice wicked deeds with men who sin.
Do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me: it is kindness.
let him reprove me: it is like oil refreshing the head;
do not let me refuse it,
for my prayer is always against evil.
6 Their judges will be thrown down the side of a cliff.
They will listen to my words, for they are well spoken.
7 “As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
so have our bones been scattered at the mouth of the grave.”
8 For my eyes are fixed on you, O GOD, my Lord.
In you, I take refuge.
Do not leave me destitute.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,
from the traps of evildoers.
10 Let the wicked all fall together into their own nets
while I pass by them.
