Come to Me Quickly!

(Psalm 70:1-5; Jeremiah 11:18-23; Jeremiah 18:18-23)

1A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.

2My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.

3Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.

4Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.

5The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.

6Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.

7As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.

8But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.

9Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.

10The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
