Learn the Word of God

¹<b>A Psalm by David. </b> Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you. ²Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. ³Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. ⁴Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies. ⁵Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds. ⁶Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. ⁷“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” ⁸For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute. ⁹Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity. ¹⁰Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
