Chapter 109

1


 

  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;  

 

 

--

2


 

  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.  

 

 

--

3


 

  They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.  

 

 

--

4


 

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

 

 

--

5


 

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

 

 

--

6


 

  Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.  

 

 

--

7


 

  When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out.  

 

 

--

14


 

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

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

16


 

  Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.  

 

 

--

17


 

  As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.  

 

 

--

18


 

  As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.  

 

 

--

20


 

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

 

 

--

21


 

  But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.  

 

 

--

22


 

  For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.  

 

 

--

23


 

  I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.  

 

 

--

24


 

  My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.  

 

 

--

25


 

  I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:  

 

 

--

27


 

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

 

 

--

28


 

  Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.  

 

 

--

29


 

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

 

 

--

30


 

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

 

 

--

31


 

  For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.  

 

 

--
