A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
HERE, ek roep tot U: haastig tot my; gee oor aan my stem, wanneer ek tot U roep.

King James Version
AFR DVK
2
Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
Laat my gebed voor U gestel word soos wierook; en die opheffing van my hande soos die aandoffer.
3
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Sit ‚'n wag, o HERE, voor my mond; bewaar die deur van my lippe.
4
Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Neig nie my hart tot enige boos ding, om goddelose werke te doen met manne wat ongeregtigheid werk nie; en laat my nie van hulle lekkernye eet nie.
5
Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.
Laat die regverdige my slaan; dit sal ‚'n guns wees: en laat hom my bestraf; dit sal ‚'n uitnemende olie wees, wat nie my hoof sal breek nie: want nog sal my gebed in hulle teenspoede wees.
6
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Wanneer hulle regters in rotsagtige plekke omgewerp word, sal hulle my woorde hoor; want hulle is soet.
7
Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
Ons bene is verstrooi by die graf se mond, soos wanneer ‚'n mens hout kap en kloof op die aarde.
8
But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Maar my oë is tot U, o GOD die Here: in U is my vertroue; laat nie my siel ontbloot nie.
9
Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Bewaar my van die strikke wat hulle vir my gestel het, en die strikke van die werkers van ongeregtigheid.
10
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Laat die goddelose in hulle eie nette val, terwyl ek ontvlug.
