1The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.
2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
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.
3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
4For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
5I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.
6Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
7I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
8I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
9All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
