O LORD, to You I Call
- O LORD, to you I call;
come quickly unto me.
Give ear unto my anxious voice
and hear me when I plead. - Like incense may my prayer
before your face arise—
the raising of my hands be like
the evening sacrifice. - Keep watch, LORD, o’er my mouth
and guard my lips, I pray;
let not my heart to evil thoughts
be drawn and led astray. - LORD, keep me from the deeds
that wicked men incite,
and keep me from their fellowship,
from eating their delights. - When just men strike me down,
it is a kind rebuke.
I take it as a soothing oil;
let not my head refuse. - I make my constant prayer
against their evil deeds.
Their leaders will be thrown from cliffs
in terrible defeat. - The wicked then will know
my words were spoken well.
Like ground that’s plowed, their bones are strewn
before the mouth of hell. - To you, O GOD, my Lord,
I look with longing eyes.
O leave me not defenseless now;
on you my soul relies. - O keep me from the trap
that evil men have set;
while I pass safely, let them fall,
ensnared in their own net.
