Oh when will you fcome to me?

I will gwalk with hintegrity of heart

within my house;

3  I will not set before my eyes

anything ithat is worthless.

it shall not cling to me.

4  kA perverse heart shall be far from me;

I will lknow nothing of evil.

5  Whoever slanders his neighbor msecretly

I will ndestroy.

Whoever has a ohaughty look and an parrogant heart

I will not endure.

that they may dwell with me;

he who walks in qthe way that is blameless

shall minister to me.

7  No one who rpractices deceit

shall dwell in my house;

no one who utters lies

shall scontinue before my eyes.

8  tMorning by morning I will destroy

all the wicked in the land,

ucutting off all vthe evildoers

from wthe city of the Lord.

Do Not Hide Your Face from Me

102 A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is xfaint and ypours out his complaint before the Lord.

1  zHear my prayer, O Lord;

let my cry acome to you!

2  bDo not hide your face from me

in cthe day of my distress!

dIncline your ear to me;

eanswer me speedily fin the day when I call!

3  For my days gpass away like smoke,

and my hbones burn like a furnace.

4  My heart is istruck down like grass and jhas withered;

I kforget to eat my bread.

5  Because of my loud groaning

my lbones cling to my flesh.

6  I am like ma desert owl of the wilderness,

like an owl1 of the waste places;

7  I nlie awake;

I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
