\d A psalm written by David.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, I call out to you;
|
|
\q2 please help me quickly!
|
|
\q1 Listen to me when I am calling to you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense being burned as an offering to you.
|
|
\q2 Accept me while I lift up my hands to pray to you,
|
|
\q2 just as you accept sacrifices that are offered to you in the evening.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say things that are wrong;
|
|
\q2 guard what I say as a sentry guards a door.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong
|
|
\q2 and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds.
|
|
\q1 Do not even allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 It is all right if righteous people strike me or rebuke me
|
|
\q2 because they are trying to act kindly toward me to teach me to do what is right;
|
|
\q1 if they do that, it will be as if someone honored me by anointing my head with olive oil;
|
|
\q2 but I am always praying that you will punish the wicked because of the wicked deeds that they do.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs,
|
|
\q2 they will know that what I am saying here is good.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 They will know one day that their bodies will lie scattered on the ground in the place of the dead,
|
|
\q2 just as one scatters clods of earth when he plows a field.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 But Yahweh God, I continue to request that you help me.
|
|
\q2 I ask you to protect me;
|
|
\q2 do not allow me to die now!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 It is as though people have set traps for me;
|
|
\q2 protect me from falling into those traps.
|
|
\q2 It is as though they have spread nets to catch me;
|
|
\q2 keep me from being caught in those nets.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 I wish that wicked people may fall into the traps they have set to catch me
|
|
\q2 while I escape from them.
