101:6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

101:7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

101:8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

102:1(A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.) Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

102:2Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

102:3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

102:4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

102:5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

102:6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

102:7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

102:8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

102:9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

102:10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

102:11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

102:12But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

102:13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

102:14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

102:15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

102:16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

102:17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

102:18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

102:19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

102:20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

102:21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

102:22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

102:23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

102:24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

102:25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

102:26They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

102:27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

102:28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

103:1(A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

103:2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

103:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

103:4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

103:5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

103:6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

103:7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

103:8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

103:9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

103:10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

103:11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

103:12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

103:13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

103:14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

103:15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

103:16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

103:17But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

103:18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

103:19The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
