Chapter 109

1


 

  {To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} O God of my praise, be not silent:  

 

 

-

2


 

  For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,  

 

 

-

3


 

  And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.  

 

 

-

5


 

  And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;  

 

 

-

7


 

  When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;  

 

 

-

8


 

  Let his days be few, let another take his office;  

 

 

-

9


 

  Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;  

 

 

-

10


 

  Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;  

 

 

-

11


 

  Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;  

 

 

-

12


 

  Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;  

 

 

-

13


 

  Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:  

 

 

-

14


 

  Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;  

 

 

-

15


 

  Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:  

 

 

-

16


 

  Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.  

 

 

-

17


 

  And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.  

 

 

-

18


 

  And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;  

 

 

-

19


 

  Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.  

 

 

-

21


 

  But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:  

 

 

-

22


 

  For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.  

 

 

-

23


 

  I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;  

 

 

-

24


 

  My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;  

 

 

-

25


 

  And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:  

 

 

-

27


 

  That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.  

 

 

-

29


 

  Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.  

 

 

-

30


 

  I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.  

 

 

-

31


 

  For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
