Psalms 109
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1Hold not thy peace, O GodH430 of my praiseH8416;2For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of deceitH4820 have they openedH6605 against me:They have spokenH1696 unto me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956.3They have compassed me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135,And foughtH3898 against me without a causeH2600.4For my loveH160 they are my adversaries:But Igive myself untoprayerH8605.5And they have rewarded me evilH7451 for goodH2896,And hatredH8135 for my loveH160.6SetH5975 thou a wickedH7563 man over him;And let an adversaryH7854 standH5975 at his rightH3225 handH3225.7When he is judgedH8199, let him come forthH3318 guiltyH7563;And let his prayerH8605 beH1961 turned into sinH2401.8Let his daysH3117 beH1961 fewH4592;Andlet another takeH3947 his officeH6486.9Let his children beH1961 fatherlessH3490,And his wifeH802 a widowH490.10Let his children be vagabonds, and beg;And let them seekH1875 their bread out of their desolate placesH2723.11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;And let strangersH2114 make spoilH962 of his labor.12Let there beH1961 none to extend kindness unto him;Neither let there beH1961 any to have pity on his fatherlessH3490 children.13Let his posterityH319 beH1961 cutH3772 off;In the generationH1755 following let their nameH8034 beH1961 blotted out.14Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with Jehovah;And let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted out.15Let them beH1961 before Jehovah continuallyH8548,That he may cutH3772 off the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776;16Because he rememberedH2142 not to show kindness,But persecuted the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376,And the broken in heartH3824, to slay them.17Yea, he lovedH157 cursingH7045, and it cameH935 unto him;And he delighted not in blessingH1293, and it was farH7368 from him.18He clothedH3847 himself also with cursingH7045 as with his garmentH4055,And it cameH935 into his inwardH7130 parts like waterH4325,And like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106.19Let it beH1961 unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself,And for the girdle wherewith he isH1961 girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.20This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah,And of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.21But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the LordH136, for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616:Because thy lovingkindness is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou me;22For I am poorH6041 and needyH34,And my heartH3820 is wounded within me.23I am goneH1980 like the shadowH6738 when it declineth:I am tossed up and downH5186 as the locustH697.24My knees are weak through fastingH6685;And my fleshH1320 faileth of fatnessH8081.25I am becomeH1961 also a reproachH2781 unto them:When they seeH7200 me, they shakeH5128 their headH7218.26HelpH5826 me, O Jehovah my GodH430;Oh saveH3467 me according to thy lovingkindness:27That they may knowH3045 that this is thy handH3027;That thou, Jehovah, hast done it.28Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou:When they ariseH6965, they shall be putH954 to shameH954,But thy servantH5650 shall rejoiceH8055.29Let mine adversaries be clothedH3847 with dishonor,And let them coverH5844 themselves with their own shameH1322 as with a robeH4598.30I will giveH3034 great thanksH3034 unto Jehovah with my mouthH6310;Yea, I will praiseH1984 him among the multitude.31For he will standH5975 at the rightH3225 handH3225 of the needyH34,To saveH3467 him from them that judgeH8199 his soulH5315.
