109:1 |
Do not be silent, O God of my praise.
|
109:2 |
For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.
|
109:3 |
They beset me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.
|
109:4 |
In return for my love they accuse me, even while I make prayer for them.
|
109:5 |
So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
|
109:6 |
They say, "Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand on his right.
|
109:7 |
When he is tried, let him be found guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin.
|
109:8 |
May his days be few; may another seize his position.
|
109:9 |
May his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.
|
109:10 |
May his children wander about and beg; may they be driven out of the ruins they inhabit.
|
109:11 |
May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil.
|
109:12 |
May there be no one to do him a kindness, nor anyone to pity his orphaned children.
|
109:13 |
May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation.
|
109:14 |
May the iniquity of his father be remembered before the LORD, and do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
|
109:15 |
Let them be before the LORD continually, and may his memory be cut off from the earth.
|
109:16 |
For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted to their death.
|
109:17 |
He loved to curse; let curses come on him. He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.
|
109:18 |
He clothed himself with cursing as his coat, may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones.
|
109:19 |
May it be like a garment that he wraps around himself, like a belt that he wears every day."
|
109:20 |
May that be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my life.
|
109:21 |
But you, O LORD my Lord, act on my behalf for your name's sake; because your steadfast love is good, deliver me.
|
109:22 |
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is pierced within me.
|
109:23 |
I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust.
|
109:24 |
My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt.
|
109:25 |
I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
|
109:26 |
Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to your steadfast love.
|
109:27 |
Let them know that this is your hand; you, O LORD, have done it.
|
109:28 |
Let them curse, but you will bless. Let my assailants be put to shame; may your servant be glad.
|
109:29 |
May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a mantle.
|
109:30 |
With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.
|
109:31 |
For he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save them from those who would condemn them to death.
