(DB)
Psalms
109
:
1
{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} O God of my praise, be not silent:
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
2
For the mouth of the wicked man and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
3
And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
4
For my love they are mine adversaries; but I give myself unto prayer.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
5
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
6
Set a wicked man over him, and let the adversary stand at his right hand;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
7
When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
8
Let his days be few, let another take his office;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
9
Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
10
Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek their bread far from their desolate places;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
11
Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
12
Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
13
Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
14
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
15
Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
16
Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
17
And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
18
And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
19
Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
20
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
21
But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
22
For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
23
I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
24
My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
25
And I am become a reproach unto them; when they look upon me they shake their heads.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
26
Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
27
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
28
Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
29
Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
30
I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
(DB)
Psalms
109
:
31
For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
