May my prayer be [a]counted as (A)incense before You;
The (B)raising of my hands as the (C)evening offering.
Set a (D)guard, Lord, [b]over my mouth;
Keep watch over the (E)door of my lips.
(F)Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds [c]of wickedness
With people who (G)do wrong;
And (H)may I not taste their delicacies.

Let my prayer stand before you like incense;
    let my uplifted hands be like the evening offering.

Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;
    keep close watch over the door that is my lips.
Don’t let my heart turn aside to evil things
        so that I don’t do wicked things with evildoers,
        so I don’t taste their delicacies.
