An Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.
A Psalm of David.
O Loʀᴅ, I call upon You; APs 22:19; 38:22; 70:5hasten to me!
BPs 5:1; 143:1Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
May my prayer be 1Lit fixedcounted as AEx 30:8; Luke 1:10; Rev 5:8; 8:3, 4incense before You;
The B1 Tim 2:8lifting up of my hands as the CEx 29:39, 41; 1 Kin 18:29, 36; Dan 9:21evening offering.
Set a APs 34:13; 39:1; Prov 13:3; 21:23guard, O Loʀᴅ, 1Lit toover my mouth;
Keep watch over the BMic 7:5door of my lips.
APs 119:36Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds 1Lit inof wickedness
With men who BIs 32:6; Hos 6:8; Mal 3:15do iniquity;
And CProv 23:6do not let me eat of their delicacies.
 
Let the AProv 9:8; 19:25; 25:12; 27:6; Eccl 7:5; Gal 6:1righteous smite me 1Or lovinglyin kindness and reprove me;
It is BPs 23:5; 133:2oil upon the head;
Do not let my head refuse it,
2Lit And my prayerFor still my prayer CPs 35:14is 3Or in spite of their calamitiesagainst their wicked deeds.
Their judges are A2 Chr 25:12thrown down by the sides of the rock,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
As when one APs 129:3plows and breaks open the earth,
Our BPs 53:5bones have been scattered at the CNum 16:32, 33; Ps 88:3-5mouth of 1I.e. the nether worldSheol.
 
For my APs 25:15; 123:2eyes are toward You, O 1Heb YHWH, usually rendered LoʀᴅGoᴅ, the Lord;

Keep me from the 1Lit hands of the trapAPs 38:12; 64:5; 91:3; 119:110jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the BPs 140:5snares of those who do iniquity.

While I pass by 1Lit altogetherBPs 124:7safely.
