Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth;
Keep the door of my lips.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing,
To practise deeds of wickedness
With men that work iniquity:
And let me not eat of their dainties.

And let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head;
Let not my head refuse it:
For [a]even in their [b]wickedness shall my prayer continue.
