3Set a guard over my mouth, O Yahweh,
keep watch over the door of my lips!
4Incline not my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity;
and let me not eat of their dainties!
5Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness,
but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head;
for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.
6When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
then they shall learn that the word of Yahweh is true.
7As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land,
so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.
8But my eyes are toward you, O Yahweh God;
in you I seek refuge;
leave me not defenceless!
9Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me,
and from the snares of evildoers!
10Let the wicked together fall into their nets,
while I escape.
