Psalms 109

1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent.

To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:

2 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.

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,

3 And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause.

And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

4 In place of love my they accuse me and I [am] prayer.

For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my.

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

6 Appoint on him a wicked [person] and an accuser let him stand on right [hand] his.

Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

7 When is judged he let him come forth guilty and prayer his let it become sin.

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

8 May they be days his few office his may he take another.

Let his days be few, let another take his office;

9 May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow.

Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

10 And really may they wander children his and they will beg and they will seek away from ruins their.

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

11 May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his.

Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

12 May not it belong to him [one who] prolongs loyalty and may not it belong [one who] shows favor to fatherless children his.

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

13 May it be posterity his to cut off in a generation another may it be wiped out name their.

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

14 May it be remembered - [the] iniquity of ancestors his to Yahweh and [the] sin of mother his may not it be wiped out.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15 Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their.

Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

16 Because that - not he remembered to do loyalty and he harassed anyone poor and needy and disheartened of heart to put to [them] death.

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

17 And he loved a curse and it came to him and not he delighted in blessing and it was far from him.

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

18 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.

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

19 May it be for him like a garment [which] he wraps himself and to a waistband [which] continually he girds on it.

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

20 This [be] [the] wage[s] of accusers my from with Yahweh and those [who] speak evil on self my.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 And you - O Yahweh O Lord deal with me for [the] sake of name your for [is] good covenant loyalty your deliver me.

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

22 For [am] poor and needy I and heart my someone has pierced in inner being my.

For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 Like a shadow when stretches out it I have vanished I have been shaken off like locust.

I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

24 Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness.

My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

25 And I - I have become a reproach to them they see me they shake! head their.

And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

26 Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your.

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

27 So they may know that [is] hand your this you O Yahweh you have done it.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

28 They will curse they and you you will bless they have arisen - and they have been ashamed and servant your he will rejoice.

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

29 May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their.

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

30 I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him.

I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
