Psalms 109
1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O God of my praise, do not be 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 wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, They have opened against me, They have spoken with me—A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
3 And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause.
They have surrounded me about, And they fight me without cause.
4 In place of love my they accuse me and I [am] prayer.
For my love they oppose me, and I—prayer!
5 And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my.
And they set against 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.
Appoint the wicked over him, And an adversary stands at his right hand.
7 When is judged he let him come forth guilty and prayer his let it become sin.
In his being judged, he goes forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
8 May they be days his few office his may he take another.
His days are few, another takes his oversight,
9 May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow.
His sons are 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.
And his sons wander continually, Indeed, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
11 May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his.
An exactor lays a snare for all that he has, And strangers spoil 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.
He has none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favor to his orphans.
13 May it be posterity his to cut off in a generation another may it be wiped out name their.
His posterity is for cutting off, Their name is blotted out in another generation.
14 May it be remembered - [the] iniquity of ancestors his to Yahweh and [the] sin of mother his may not it be wiped out.
The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered to YHWH, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
15 Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their.
They are continually before YHWH, And He cuts off their memorial from 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 that he has not remembered to do kindness, And pursues the poor man and needy, And the struck of heart—to slay,
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 loves reviling, and it meets him, And he has not delighted in blessing, And it is 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 puts on reviling as his robe, And it comes in as water into his midst, And as 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.
It is to him as apparel—he covers himself, And he girds it on for a continual girdle.
20 This [be] [the] wage[s] of accusers my from with Yahweh and those [who] speak evil on self my.
This [is] the wage of my accusers from YHWH, And of those speaking 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.
And You, O Lord YHWH, Deal with me for Your Name’s sake, Because Your 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] poor and needy, And my heart has been pierced in my midst.
23 Like a shadow when stretches out it I have vanished I have been shaken off like locust.
I have gone as a shadow when it is stretched out, I have been driven away as a locust.
24 Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness.
My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh has failed of fatness.
25 And I - I have become a reproach to them they see me they shake! head their.
And I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
26 Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your.
Help me, O YHWH my God, Save me, according to Your kindness.
27 So they may know that [is] hand your this you O Yahweh you have done it.
And they know that this [is] Your hand, You, O YHWH, You have 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.
They revile, and You bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Your servant rejoices.
29 May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their.
My accusers put on blushing, and are covered, Their shame [is] as an upper robe.
30 I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him.
I thank YHWH greatly with my mouth, And I praise Him in the midst of many,
31 For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.
For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
