1(102) A Prayer for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.
1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2Turn not away your face from me: in the day [when] I am afflicted, incline your ear to me: in the day [when] I shall call upon you, speedily hear me.
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.
3For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.
4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;
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 an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8All the day long my enemies have reproached me; and they that praised me have sworn against me.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
