Let my prayer be accepted
    as sweet-smelling incense in your presence.
    Let the lifting up of my hands in prayer be accepted
        as an evening sacrifice.

O Yahweh, set a guard at my mouth.

    or to become involved with wickedness,
        with people who are troublemakers.
            Do not let me taste their delicacies.
