My Prayer as Incense Before You

Psa 141:1-2 LSB - [1] A Psalm of David. 

O Yahweh, I call upon You; hasten to me! 

Give ear to my voice when I call to You! 

[2] May my prayer be established as incense before You; 

The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

Psa 141:3 LSB - 

[3] Set a guard, O Yahweh, over my mouth; 

Keep watch over the door of my lips.

Psa 39:1 LSB - [1] For the choir director. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 

I said, "I will keep watch [over] my ways 

That I may not sin with my tongue; 

I will keep watch [over] my mouth as with a muzzle 

While the wicked are in my presence."

 

Give Heed to My Cry

Psa 142:1-2 LSB - [1] A Maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A Prayer. 

With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud;

I declare my distress before Him.

I have concealed [myself] in You.

To all who call upon Him in truth.
