Psalms 109
1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent.
“To the chief musician, by David, a psalm.” O God of my praise, do not keep silence.
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 and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken with me with the tongue of falsehood.
3 And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause.
Also 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.
In recompense for my love are they my accusers, while I have nothing but prayer.
5 And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my.
And they impose evil on me in recompense for good, and hatred in lieu of my love.
6 Appoint on him a wicked [person] and an accuser let him stand on right [hand] his.
Appoint thou a wicked man over him: and let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When is judged he let him come forth guilty and prayer his let it become sin.
When he is to be judged, let him go forth 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, and let another take his office.
9 May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow.
Let his children 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 children be continually moving about, and beg, and let them seek [their bread] out of their ruined places.
11 May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his.
Let the creditor lay snares after all that he hath, and let strangers plunder his labor.
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 him have none that extendeth kindness, and let there be none that is gracious to 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 another generation 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 by the Lord, and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.
15 Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their.
Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off from the earth their memory.
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.
For the reason that he remembered not to show kindness; but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the grieved in heart to put him to death.
17 And he loved a curse and it came to him and not he delighted in blessing and it was far from him.
As he loved cursing, so let it come over him: and as he delighted not in blessing, so 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 as with his garment, and it cometh like water within him, 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 in which he wrappeth himself, and for a girdle let him be continually girded with it.
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 my accusers from the Lord, and of those 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 thou, O Eternal Lord, deal with me for the sake of thy name: because thy kindness is good, deliver thou me.
22 For [am] poor and needy I and heart my someone has pierced in inner being my.
For poor and needy am I, and my heart is deeply wounded within me.
23 Like a shadow when stretches out it I have vanished I have been shaken off like locust.
Like the shadow when it declineth do I hasten away: I am driven suddenly off like the locusts.
24 Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness.
My knees stumble through fasting, and my flesh faileth of 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 see me, they shake their head.
26 Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your.
Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy 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, Lord, hast truly 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 then curse, but do thou bless: when they arise, let them be made ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their.
Let my accusers be clothed with confusion, and let them wrap themselves, as with a mantle, in their own shame.
30 I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him.
I will thank the Lord greatly with my mouth, and in the midst of many will I praise him.
31 For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.
For he ever standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
