In context
1A Psalm of David. 2May my prayer be set before You like incense; 3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; 4Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing 5Let the righteous man strike me; 6When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, 7As when one plows and breaks up the soil, 8But my eyes are fixed on You, 9Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, 10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
