MY FAVORITE PSALMS - PART FORTY NINE

MY FAVORITE PSALMS -
 PART FORTY NINE


 I will sing of mercy        and judgement unto      Thee, O Lord, I will  sing. I 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.

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of them that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me.  A frowared heart shall depart from me.  I will not know a wicked person.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me, he that walketh in a perfect way shall serve me.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house. He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

  Hear my prayer, O Lord,  and let my cry come unto Thee.
 Hide not Thy face from me when I am in the day of my trouble: Incline Thine ear unto me ; in the day when I call answer me speedily.


For my days are consumed like smoke and my bones are burned up as a hearth.

My heart is smitten and withered like grass so that I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my skin.  I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the dessert.

I Watch and I am like a sparrow alone upon a housetop. For I have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping. Because of Thy wrath and Thy indignation; for Thou hast lifted me up and cast me down.  My days are like a shadow that declineth and I am withered like grass.

But Thou, O Lord, shall endure forever, and Thy remembrance to all generations.  So the heathen shall fear the Name of the Lord and all the kings of the earth Thy glory.
