1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you! 2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering. 3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations. 4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts. 5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil. 6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true! 7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plow, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. 8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die! 9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people. 10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.

What this Psalm containeth, I believe that ye perceived when it was being chanted; for therein the Church of Christ, set in the midst of the wicked, complaineth and groaneth, and poureth out prayer to God.

… yet hath not given me over to death." "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." "The righteous," saith it, "shall chasten me in mercy, and reprove me; but let not the oil of sinners make fat my head." And again he saith, "Blessed is the man whom the Lord reproveth, and reject not …
Not yet, therefore, hadst Thou set a watch before my mouth, and kept the door of my lips, that my heart might not incline to wicked speeches, to make excuses of sins, with men that work iniquity --and, therefore, was I still united with their "Elect."

So that if it be but a prayer, which thou art offering in such a frame of mind, it were …

But first listen to what thou sayest in the Psalm, "Let my prayer be set forth in Thy sight as incense." When then not incense, but a stinking smoke arises from thee, and from thy deeds, what punishment dost thou not deserve to undergo?
