Psalms Chapter 109
|
|||
|
|
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
|
|||
|
|
2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
|
|||
|
|
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
|
|||
|
|
4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
|
|||
|
|
5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
|
|||
|
|
6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
|
|||
|
|
7 When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
|
|||
|
|
8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
|
|||
|
|
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
|
|||
|
|
10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
|
|||
|
|
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
|
|||
|
|
12 Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
|
|||
|
|
13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
|
|||
|
|
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
|
|||
|
|
15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
|
|||
|
|
16 because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
|
|||
|
|
17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
|
|||
|
|
18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
|
|||
|
|
19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
|
|||
|
|
20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.
|
|||
|
|
21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
|
|||
|
|
22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
|
|||
|
|
23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
|
|||
|
|
24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
|
|||
|
|
25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
|
|||
|
|
26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
|
|||
|
|
27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.
|
|||
|
|
28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
|
|||
|
|
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
|
|||
|
|
30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
|
|||
|
|
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
