1 My song shall be of | 3 mercy and | judgement ||

unto | thee, O | Lord, • will I | sing. ||

2 O let me have understanding in the | way of | godli•ness. ||

3 When wilt thou come unto me? * I will walk in my | house • with a | perfect | heart. ||

4 I will take no | wicked • thing in | hand; ||

I hate the sins of unfaithfulness; | there shall | no such | cleave un•to me. ||

5 A froward | heart • shall de- | part • from me ||

I will not | know a | wicked | person. ||

6 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, | him will • I de- | stroy. ||

7 Whoso hath also a proud look and high | 3 stomach, I | will not | suffer • him. ||

8 Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful in the land, that | they may | dwell • with me. ||

9 Whoso leadeth a | godly • life, | he shall • be my | servant. ||

10 There shall no deceitful person | 3 dwell in my | house ||

he that telleth | lies • shall not | tarry • in my | sight. ||

11 I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are | in the | land ||

that I may root out all wicked | doers • from the | city • of the | Lord. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
