< Psalms 109 >

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. God of my praise, let my prayer be answered;
To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent.
2 For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.
For [the] mouth of [the] wicked and a mouth of deceit on me they have opened they have spoken with me a tongue of falsehood.
3 Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.
And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause.
4 For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.
In place of love my they accuse me and I [am] prayer.
5 They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.
And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my.
6 Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.
Appoint on him a wicked [person] and an accuser let him stand on right [hand] his.
7 When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.
When is judged he let him come forth guilty and prayer his let it become sin.
8 Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.
May they be days his few office his may he take another.
9 Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.
May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow.
10 Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.
And really may they wander children his and they will beg and they will seek away from ruins their.
11 Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.
May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his.
12 Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.
May not it belong to him [one who] prolongs loyalty and may not it belong [one who] shows favor to fatherless children his.
13 Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.
May it be posterity his to cut off in a generation another may it be wiped out name their.
14 Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.
May it be remembered - [the] iniquity of ancestors his to Yahweh and [the] sin of mother his may not it be wiped out.
15 Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.
Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their.
16 Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.
Because that - not he remembered to do loyalty and he harassed anyone poor and needy and disheartened of heart to put to [them] death.
17 As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
And he loved a curse and it came to him and not he delighted in blessing and it was far from him.
18 He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
And he put on a curse like garment his and it went like water in inward part[s] his and like oil in bones his.
19 Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.
May it be for him like a garment [which] he wraps himself and to a waistband [which] continually he girds on it.
20 Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.
This [be] [the] wage[s] of accusers my from with Yahweh and those [who] speak evil on self my.
21 But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.
And you - O Yahweh O Lord deal with me for [the] sake of name your for [is] good covenant loyalty your deliver me.
22 For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.
For [am] poor and needy I and heart my someone has pierced in inner being my.
23 I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.
Like a shadow when stretches out it I have vanished I have been shaken off like locust.
24 My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.
Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness.
25 As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.
And I - I have become a reproach to them they see me they shake! head their.
26 Give me help, O Lord my God; in your mercy be my saviour;
Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your.
27 So that they may see that it is the work of your hand; that you, Lord, have done it.
So they may know that [is] hand your this you O Yahweh you have done it.
28 They may give curses but you give blessing; when they come up against me, put them to shame; but let your servant be glad.
They will curse they and you you will bless they have arisen - and they have been ashamed and servant your he will rejoice.
29 Let my haters be clothed with shame, covering themselves with shame as with a robe.
May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their.
30 I will give the Lord great praise with my mouth; yes, I will give praise to him among all the people.
I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him.
31 For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.
For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.
