"I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house. "
— Psalms 101:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.”
“He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes. ”
“He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.”
“Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence.”
“I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.”
“The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.”
“He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.”
For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood.
I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.
Before the voice of my groaning, my bone has adhered to my flesh.
I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house.
I have kept vigil, and I have become like a solitary sparrow on a roof.
All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore oaths against me.
For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink.
