Psalm 109

Psalm 109

For the end, a Psalm of David.

109:1 O God, pass not over my praise in silence;

109:2 for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

109:3 And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

109:4 Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.

109:5 And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

109:6 Set thou a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.

109:7 When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

109:8 Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.

109:9 Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.

109:10 Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.

109:11 Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours.

109:12 Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.

109:13 Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.

109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15 Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.

109:16 Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to slay him that was pricked in the heart.

109:17 He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.

109:18 Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.

109:19 Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.

109:20 This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

109:21 But thou, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for thy name's sake: for thy mercy is good.

109:22 Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.

109:23 I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.

109:24 My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of [the want of] oil.

109:25 I became also a reproach to them: [when] they saw me they shook their heads.

109:26 Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to thy mercy.

109:27 And let them know that this is thy hand; and [that] thou, Lord, hast wrought it.

109:28 Let them curse, but thou shalt bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let thy servant rejoice.

109:29 Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

109:30 I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.

109:31 For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save [me] from them that persecute my soul.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

109:1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

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

109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

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

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

109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

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

109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

109:16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

109:20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

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

109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

109:27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
