Prayer For Safety in Time of Trouble
1   LORD, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto you.
2   Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3   Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.
4   Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice   wicked   works   with   men   that   work iniquity: and let me not eat of their delicacies.
5   Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be against their evil.
6   When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7   Our bones are  scattered  at  hell's mouth, as when one cuts and splits wood upon the earth.
8   But my eyes are unto you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9   Keep me from the snares which they have laid  for  me,  and  the  traps  of  the  workers  of iniquity.
10   Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I thus escape.
