1A Prayer for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord.
1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to thee.
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.
3Turn not away thy face from me: in the day [when] I am afflicted, incline thine ear to me: in the day [when] I shall call upon thee, speedily hear me.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.
4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh.
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.
7I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
