109:1 <> God of my praise, don't remain silent,

109:2 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.

109:3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.

109:4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; But I am in prayer.

109:5 They have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

109:6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

109:7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

109:8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

109:9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.

109:10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

109:11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

109:12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.

109:13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

109:16 Because he didn't remember to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, The broken in heart, to kill them.

109:17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, Like oil into his bones.

109:19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, For the belt that is always around him.

109:20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, Of those who speak evil against my soul.

109:21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake, Because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

109:22 For I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

109:23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

109:24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

109:25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

109:26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

109:27 That they may know that this is your hand; That you, Yahweh, have done it.

109:28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, But your servant shall rejoice.

109:29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

109:30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

109:31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.
