101:006 My 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. 101:007 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes. 101:008 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city. 102:001 <<A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before Yahweh.>> Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you. 102:002 Don't hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call. 102:003 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a firebrand. 102:004 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread. 102:005 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin. 102:006 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places. 102:007 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop. 102:008 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse. 102:009 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears, 102:010 Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away. 102:011 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass. 102:012 But you, Yahweh, will abide forever; your renown endures to all generations. 102:013 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come. 102:014 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust. 102:015 So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of the earth your glory. 102:016 For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory. 102:017 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer. 102:018 This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah. 102:019 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth; 102:020 to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death; 102:021 that men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 102:022 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh. 102:023 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days. 102:024 I said, "My God, don't take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations. 102:025 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands. 102:026 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment.
