Come to Me Quickly! (Psalm 70:1-5; Jeremiah 11:18-23; Jeremiah 18:18-23) 1{140:1}I have cried to thee, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee. 2{140:2}Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice. 3{140:3}Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips. 4{140:4}Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them. 5{140:5}The just man shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased: 6{140:6}Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed: 7{140:7}As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. 8{140:8}But to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul. 9{140:9}Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity. 10{140:10}The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
