Darby Bible

To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.

1O 1GodH430 of my praiseH8416, be not silentH2790:2For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 [man] and the mouthH6310 of deceitH4820 are openedH6605 against me: they have spokenH1696 against me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956,3And with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135 have they encompassed me; and they fightH3898 against me without a causeH2600.4For my loveH160 they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayerH8605.5And they have rewarded me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160.6SetH5975 a wickedH7563 [man] over him, and let [the] adversaryH7854 standH5975 at his rightH3225 handH3225;7When he shall beH1961 judgedH8199, let him goH3318 out guiltyH7563, and let his prayerH8605 becomeH1961 sinH2401;8Let his daysH3117 beH1961 fewH4592, let another takeH3947 his officeH6486;9Let his sonsH1121 beH1961 fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490;10Let his sonsH1121 be vagabonds and beg, and let them seekH1875 [their bread] far from their desolate placesH2723;11Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangersH2114 despoil his labour;12Let there beH1961 none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there beH1961 any to favour 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 shew kindness, but persecuted the afflictedH6041 and needyH34 manH376, and the broken in heartH3824, to slay him.17And he lovedH157 cursingH7045; so let it comeH935 unto him. And he delighted not in blessingH1293; and let it be farH7368 from him.18And he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like his vestment; so let it comeH935 into his bowels like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106;19Let it beH1961 unto him as a garmentH899 with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he isH1961 constantly girdedH2296.20Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.21But do thou for me, Jehovah, LordH136, for thy name's sakeH4616; because thy loving-kindness is goodH2896, deliverH5337 me:22For I am afflictedH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is wounded within me.23I am goneH1980 like a shadowH6738 when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locustH697;24My knees are failingH3782 through fastingH6685, and my fleshH1320 hath lost its fatnessH8081;25And I am becomeH1961 a reproachH2781 unto them; [when] they lookH7200 upon me they shakeH5128 their headsH7218.26HelpH5826 me, Jehovah my 2GodH430; saveH3467 me according to thy loving-kindness:27That they may knowH3045 that this is thy handH3027; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.28Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou; when they riseH6965 up, let them be ashamedH954, and let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.29Let mine adversaries be clothedH3847 with confusion, and let them coverH5844 themselves with their shameH1322 as with a mantle.30I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984 him among the multitude.31For he standeth at the rightH3225 handH3225 of the needyH34, to saveH3467 him from those that judgeH8199 his soulH5315.
