I will teach thy ways to the unjust ; and the impious shall be converted to thee.

Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

I am become like a pelican of the desert; I am become as a night crow in the house.

I have watched, and become as a solitary sparrow upon a house top.

My enemies upbraided me all the day; and those who had praised me, swore against me.

For I did eat ashes as bread, and mingled my drink with tears.

By reason of thy wrath and indignation, for having elevated me, thou has dashed me on the ground.

My days have passed away like a shadow, and I am withered as grass.

But thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; and the memory of thee shall be from generation to generation.

Thou wilt arise and take pity on Sion; because it is the time to take pity on it, for the time is come. Because the stones of it have pleased thy servants; and they will take pity on the ground of it.

VI. Psalm cxxix.

Have cried to thee, O Lord, from the depths: 0 Lord hear my voice.. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my petition.

If thou, O Lord shalt observe our iniquities; O Lord, who shall bear it ? Because there is propitiation with thee; and for the sake of thy law I have expected thee, O Lord.
