1 I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.
1The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
2I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.
2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
3I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.
3Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
4The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.
4For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
5I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.
5I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
6My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.
6Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
7The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.
7I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
8Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.
8I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
