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