PSALM CI.

1.

MY song shall be of mercy and judgement :

unto Thee, O Lord, will-I sing.

20 let me have understanding in the way of godliness: when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk in my house with-a perfect heart.

3 I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins of-unfaithfulness: there shall | no such cle ave unto me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy: Whoso hath also a proud look and high stomach | him I will not suffer.

6 Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me: Whoso leadeth a godly life, he shall be my servant.

7 There shall no deceitful person | dwell inmy house he that telleth lies | shall not tarry inmy sight.

:

8 I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that | are in-the land that I may root out all wicked

:

doers from the city of-the LORD.

HEA

EAR my prayer, | O LORD: and let my | crying come unto Thee.

2 Hide not Thy face from me· in the | time. of-my trouble: incline Thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon.

3 For my days are consumed a way like smoke: and my bones are burnt up | as it were a firebrand.

4 My heart is smitten down, and | withered like grass so that I forget to eat my bread.

5 For the voice of-my groaning: my bones will scarce cleave to-my flesh.

6 I am become like a pelican in-the wilderness and like an owl that is in-the desert.

7 I have watched, and am even as it | were a sparrow that sitteth alone upon-the house-top. 8 Mine enemies revile me | all the-day long : and they that are mad upon me are sworn together against me.
