# Chapter 109
|
|
1. Do not keep silent,
|
|
O God of my praise!
|
|
|
|
2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
|
|
Have opened against me;
|
|
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
|
|
|
|
3. They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
|
|
And fought against me without a cause.
|
|
|
|
4. In return for my love they are my accusers,
|
|
But I give myself to prayer.
|
|
|
|
5. Thus they have rewarded me evil for good,
|
|
And hatred for my love.
|
|
|
|
6. Set a wicked man over him,
|
|
And let an accuser stand at his right hand.
|
|
|
|
7. When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
|
|
And let his prayer become sin.
|
|
|
|
8. Let his days be few,
|
|
And let another take his office.
|
|
|
|
9. Let his children be fatherless,
|
|
And his wife a widow.
|
|
|
|
10. Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg;
|
|
Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.
|
|
|
|
11. Let the creditor seize all that he has,
|
|
And let strangers plunder his labor.
|
|
|
|
12. Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
|
|
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
|
|
|
|
13. Let his posterity be cut off,
|
|
And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
|
|
|
|
14. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
|
|
And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
|
|
|
|
15. Let them be continually before the Lord,
|
|
That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
|
|
|
|
16. Because he did not remember to show mercy,
|
|
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
|
|
That he might even slay the broken in heart.
|
|
|
|
17. As he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
|
|
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
|
|
|
|
18. As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
|
|
So let it enter his body like water,
|
|
And like oil into his bones.
|
|
|
|
19. Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
|
|
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
|
|
|
|
20. Let this be the Lord's reward to my accusers,
|
|
And to those who speak evil against my person.
|
|
|
|
21. But You, O God the Lord,
|
|
Deal with me for Your name's sake;
|
|
Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.
|
|
|
|
22. For I am poor and needy,
|
|
And my heart is wounded within me.
|
|
|
|
23. I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;
|
|
I am shaken off like a locust.
|
|
|
|
24. My knees are weak through fasting,
|
|
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
|
|
|
|
25. I also have become a reproach to them;
|
|
When they look at me, they shake their heads.
|
|
|
|
26. Help me, O Lord my God!
|
|
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
|
|
|
|
27. That they may know that this is Your hand--
|
|
That You, Lord, have done it!
|
|
|
|
28. Let them curse, but You bless;
|
|
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
|
|
But let Your servant rejoice.
|
|
|
|
29. Let my accusers be clothed with shame,
|
|
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.
|
|
|
|
30. I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth;
|
|
Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.
|
|
|
|
31. For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
|
|
To save him from those who condemn him.
