Set a watch, O Lord before my mouth- keep the door of my lips-Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity - and let me not take of their sweets - let the righteous smite me - it shall be a kindness. And let him reprove me: it shall be as an excellent oil, which shall not break my head; for yet my prayer shall be in their calamities - mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord; in thee is my trust, leave not my soul destitute. I pour out my complaint before thee O Lord - I give you all my troubles - when my spirit is overwhelmed within me, then thou knoweth my path. I look upon my right hand but no man knows me - no man cares for my soul - I cry unto the Lord. I say, thou are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living - Give my cry attention, Oh Lord I am brought very low, deliver me from my persecutors for they are stronger than I - being my soul out of prison that I may praise thy name - hear my prayer Oh Lord - in thy faithfulness answer unto me and I thy righteousness I stretch forth unto thee - My soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land - Hear my prayer Oh Lord - in thy faithfulness answer unto me and in thy righteousness I stretch forth unto thee - my soul thirst with after thee, as a thirsty land - hear me speedily Oh Lord - my spirit faileth - hide not thy face from me - lest I be liken unto them that go into the pit, cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the mourning - for in thee do I trust - cause me to know the way wherein I should walk - for Oh God I lift up my soul unto thee - teach me to do thy will - for thou art my God.
