etracted his neighbour, him did I
persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I
would not eat.

100:6. My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the
man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

100:7. He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house:
he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

100:8. In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I
might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

Psalms Chapter 101

Domine, exaudi.

A prayer for one in affliction: the fifth penitential psalm.

101:1. The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out
his supplication before the Lord.

101:2. Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.

101:3. Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble,
incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear

101:4. For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones are grown dry

101:9. All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised

101:10. For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with

have pity on the earth thereof.

101:16. All the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings
of the earth thy glory.

101:17. For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his
glory.

101:18. He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not
