Psalms 109
1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. God whom I 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 wicked and deceitful attack me; they speak lies against me.
3 And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause.
They surround me and say hateful things, and they attack me without cause.
4 In place of love my they accuse me and I [am] prayer.
In return for my love they accuse me, but I pray for them.
5 And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my.
They repay me evil for good, and they hate my love.
6 Appoint on him a wicked [person] and an accuser let him stand on right [hand] his.
Appoint a wicked man over such an enemy as these people; appoint an accuser to 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 judged, may he be found guilty; may his prayer be considered sinful.
8 May they be days his few office his may he take another.
May his days be few; may another take his office.
9 May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow.
May his children be fatherless, and may his wife be a widow.
10 And really may they wander children his and they will beg and they will seek away from ruins their.
May his children wander about and beg, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home.
11 May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his.
May the creditor take all he owns; may strangers plunder what he earns.
12 May not it belong to him [one who] prolongs loyalty and may not it belong [one who] shows favor to fatherless children his.
May no one extend any kindness to him; may no one have pity on his fatherless children.
13 May it be posterity his to cut off in a generation another may it be wiped out name their.
May his children be cut off; may their name be blotted out in the next 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.
May his ancestors' sins be mentioned to Yahweh; and may the sin of his mother not be forgotten.
15 Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their.
May their guilt always be before Yahweh; may Yahweh cut off their memory 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.
May Yahweh do this because this man never bothered to show any covenant faithfulness, but instead harassed the oppressed, the needy, and the disheartened 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.
He loved cursing; may it come back upon him. He hated blessing; may no blessing come to 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.
He clothed himself with cursing as his garment, and his curse came into his inner being like water, 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.
May his curses be to him like the clothes he wears to cover himself, like the belt he always wears.
20 This [be] [the] wage[s] of accusers my from with Yahweh and those [who] speak evil on self my.
May this be the reward of my accusers from Yahweh, of those who say evil things about me.
21 And you - O Yahweh O Lord deal with me for [the] sake of name your for [is] good covenant loyalty your deliver me.
Yahweh my Lord, deal kindly with me for your name's sake. Because your covenant faithfulness is good, save me.
22 For [am] poor and needy I and heart my someone has pierced in inner being my.
For I am oppressed 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 fading away like the shadow of the evening; I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness.
My knees are weak from fasting; I am turning to skin and bones.
25 And I - I have become a reproach to them they see me they shake! head their.
I am disdained by my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your.
Help me, Yahweh my God; save me by your covenant faithfulness.
27 So they may know that [is] hand your this you O Yahweh you have done it.
May they know that this is your doing, that you, Yahweh, have done this.
28 They will curse they and you you will bless they have arisen - and they have been ashamed and servant your he will rejoice.
Though they curse me, please bless me; when they attack, may they be put to shame, but may your servant rejoice.
29 May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their.
May my adversaries be clothed with shame; may they wear their shame like a robe.
30 I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him.
With my mouth I give great thanks to Yahweh; I will praise him in the midst of a crowd.
31 For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.
For he will stand at the right hand of the one who is needy, to save him from those who judge him.
