< Psalms 109 >
1 HOLD not thy peace, O God of my praise;
To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent.
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.
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 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
In place of love my they accuse me and I [am] prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Appoint on him a wicked [person] and an accuser let him stand on right [hand] his.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
When is judged he let him come forth guilty and prayer his let it become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
May they be days his few office his may he take another.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
And really may they wander children his and they will beg and they will seek away from ruins their.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
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 posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
May it be posterity his to cut off in a generation another may it be wiped out name their.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
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 before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their.
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.
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 loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so 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 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.
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 unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
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 of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
This [be] [the] wage[s] of accusers my from with Yahweh and those [who] speak evil on self my.
21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
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 needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
For [am] poor and needy I and heart my someone has pierced in inner being my.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
Like a shadow when stretches out it I have vanished I have been shaken off like locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
And I - I have become a reproach to them they see me they shake! head their.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your.
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
So they may know that [is] hand your this you O Yahweh you have done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
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 mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.
