1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
1The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to 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.
4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
4For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
5I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
6Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
7I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
8I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
