I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(f) shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(g) in secret,
I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(h) and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(i)
will minister to me.
7 No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
8 Every morning(j) I will put to silence
all the wicked(k) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(l)
from the city of the
Lord

1 Hear my prayer,(a)
Lord
;
let my cry for help(b) come to you.
2 Do not hide your face(c) from me
when I am in distress.
Turn your ear(d) to me;
when I call, answer me quickly.
3 For my days vanish like smoke;(e)
my bones(f) burn like glowing embers.
4 My heart is blighted and withered like grass;(g)
I forget to eat my food.(h)
5 In my distress I groan aloud(i)
and am reduced to skin and bones.
6 I am like a desert owl,(j)
like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake;(k) I have become
like a bird alone(l) on a roof.
