Psalm 109

New American Standard Bible 1995

Vengeance Invoked upon Adversaries.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1O 1GodH430 of my praiseH8416, 2Do not be silentH2790!2For they have openedH6605 the 3wickedH7563 and 4deceitfulH4820 mouthH6310 againstH5921 me; They have spokenH1696 5againstH854 me with a 6lyingH8267 tongueH3956.3They have also surroundedH5437 me with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135, And foughtH3898 against me 7withoutH2600 causeH2600.4In returnH8478 8for my loveH160 they actH7853 as my accusersH7853; But 9I am in prayerH8605.5Thus they have 1011repaidH7760 me evilH7463 for goodH2899 And 12hatredH8135 for my loveH160.

6AppointH6485 a wickedH7563 manH7563 overH5921 him, And let an 1314accuserH7854 standH5975 at his rightH3225 handH3225.7When he is judgedH8199, let him 15comeH3318 forthH3318 guiltyH7563, And let his 16prayerH8605 becomeH1961 sinH2401.8Let 17his daysH3117 be fewH4592; Let 18anotherH312 takeH3947 his officeH6486.9Let his 19childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490 And his 20wifeH802 a widowH490.10Let his 21childrenH1121 wanderH5128 about and begH7592; And let them 22seekH1875 sustenance 23far from their ruinedH2723 homesH2723.11Let 24the creditorH5383 25seizeH5367 allH3605 that he has, And let 26strangersH2114 plunderH962 the productH3018 of his laborH3018.12Let there be noneH408 to 2728extendH4900 lovingkindnessH2617 to him, NorH408 29any to be graciousH2603 to his fatherlessH3490 childrenH3490.13Let his 30posterityH319 be 31cutH3772 offH3772; In a followingH312 generationH1755 let their 32nameH8034 be blottedH4229 out.

14Let 33the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 34beforeH413 the LordH3068, And do not let the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be 35blottedH4229 out.15Let 36them be beforeH5048 the LordH3068 continuallyH8548, That He may 37cutH3772 offH3772 their memoryH2143 from the earthH776;16BecauseH3282 he did not rememberH2142 to showH6213 lovingkindnessH2617, But persecutedH7291 the 38afflictedH6041 and needyH34 manH376, And the 39despondentH3512 in heartH3824, to 40putH4191 them to deathH4191.17He also lovedH157 cursingH7045, so 41it cameH935 to him; And he did not delightH2654 in blessingH1293, so it was farH7368 from him.18But he 42clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 as with his garmentH4055, And it 43enteredH935 into 44his bodyH7130 like waterH4325 And like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106.19Let it be to him as 45a garmentH899 with which he coversH5844 himself, And for a beltH4206 with which he constantlyH8548 46girdsH2296 himself.2047Let thisH2088 be the 48rewardH6468 of my accusersH7853 from the LordH3068, And of those who 49speakH1696 evilH7451 againstH5921 my soulH5315.

21But You, O 50GodH3068, the LordH136, dealH6213 kindly with me 51for Your name’sH8034 sakeH4616; BecauseH3588 52Your lovingkindnessH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 me;22For 53I am afflictedH6041 and needyH34, And 54my heartH3820 is 55woundedH2490 withinH7130 me.23I am passingH1980 56like a shadowH6738 when it lengthensH5186; I am shakenH5287 offH5287 57like the locustH697.24My 58kneesH1290 59are weakH3782 from 60fastingH6685, And my fleshH1320 has grownH3584 leanH3584, withoutH4480 fatnessH8081.25I also have becomeH1961 a 61reproachH2781 to them; When they seeH7200 me, they 62wagH5128 their headH7218.

2663HelpH5826 me, O LordH3068 my GodH430; SaveH3467 me according to Your lovingkindnessH2617.2764And let them 65knowH3045 that thisH2088 is Your handH3027; You, LordH3068, have doneH6213 it.2866Let them curseH7043, but You blessH1288; When they ariseH6965, they shall be ashamedH954, But Your 67servantH5650 shall be gladH8055.2968Let 69my accusersH7853 be clothedH3847 with dishonorH3639, And 70let them 71coverH5844 themselves with their own shameH1322 as with a robeH4598.

30With my mouthH6310 I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 abundantlyH3966 to the LordH3068; And in the midstH8432 of manyH7227 72I will praiseH1984 Him.31For He standsH5975 73at the rightH3225 handH3225 of the needyH34, To saveH3467 him from those who 74judgeH8199 his soulH5315.
