For the LORD our God is holy.

The Psalmist's Profession of Uprightness.

¹ I will ^(C1)sing of mercy and ^(F1)justice;
To You, LORD, I will sing praises.

² I will ^(C1)carefully attend to the ^(F1)blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the ^(F2)(C2)integrity of my heart.

³ I will set no ^(C1)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the ^(F1)work of those who ^(C2)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.

⁴ A ^(C1)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.

⁵ Whoever secretly ^(C1)slanders his neighbor, him I will ^(F1)destroy;
I will not endure one who has a ^(C2)haughty look and an arrogant heart.

⁶ My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a ^(F1)(C1)blameless way is one who will serve me.

⁷ One who ^(C1)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies ^(C2)shall not ^(F1)maintain his position before me.

^8 (C1)Every morning I will ^(F1)(C2)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to ^(C3)eliminate from the ^(C4)city of the LORD all those who do injustice.

Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.

^1 (C1)Hear my prayer, LORD!
And let my cry for help ^(C2)come to You.

^2 (C1)Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress;
^(C2)Incline Your ear to me;
On the day when I call ^(C1)answer me quickly.

³ For my days ^(C1)have ended in smoke,
And my ^(C2)bones have been scorched like a hearth.

⁴ My heart ^(C1)has been struck like ^(F1)grass and has ^(C2)withered,
Indeed, I ^(C3)forget to eat my bread.

⁵ Because of the ^(F1)loudness of my groaning
My ^(C1)bones ^(F2)cling to my flesh.

⁶ I resemble a ^(C1)pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the ruins.

⁷ I ^(C1)lie awake,
I have become like a solitary bird on a housetop.<
