Psalm 109
|
|
|
|
1. O God, whom I praise,
|
|
don't stand silent and aloof
|
|
|
|
2. while the wicked slander me
|
|
and tell lies about me.
|
|
|
|
3. They surround me with hateful words
|
|
and fight against me for no reason.
|
|
|
|
4. I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations
|
|
even as I am praying for them!
|
|
|
|
5. They repay evil for good,
|
|
and hatred for my love.
|
|
|
|
6. They say, "Get an evil person to turn against him.
|
|
Send an accuser to bring him to trial.
|
|
|
|
7. When his case comes up for judgment,
|
|
let him be pronounced guilty.
|
|
Count his prayers as sins.
|
|
|
|
8. Let his years be few;
|
|
let someone else take his position.
|
|
|
|
9. May his children become fatherless,
|
|
and his wife a widow.
|
|
|
|
10. May his children wander as beggars
|
|
and be driven from their ruined homes.
|
|
|
|
11. May creditors seize his entire estate,
|
|
and strangers take all he has earned.
|
|
|
|
12. Let no one be kind to him;
|
|
let no one pity his fatherless children.
|
|
|
|
13. May all his offspring die.
|
|
May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.
|
|
|
|
14. May the LORD never forget the sins of his fathers;
|
|
may his mother's sins never be erased from the record.
|
|
|
|
15. May the LORD always remember these sins,
|
|
and may his name disappear from human memory.
|
|
|
|
16. For he refused all kindness to others;
|
|
he persecuted the poor and needy,
|
|
and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.
|
|
|
|
17. He loved to curse others;
|
|
now you curse him.
|
|
He never blessed others;
|
|
now don't you bless him.
|
|
|
|
18. Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing,
|
|
or the water he drinks,
|
|
or the rich food he eats.
|
|
|
|
19. Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing;
|
|
may they be tied around him like a belt."
|
|
|
|
20. May those curses become the LORD's punishment
|
|
for my accusers who speak evil of me.
|
|
|
|
21. But deal well with me, O Sovereign LORD,
|
|
for the sake of your own reputation!
|
|
Rescue me
|
|
because you are so faithful and good.
|
|
|
|
22. For I am poor and needy,
|
|
and my heart is full of pain.
|
|
|
|
23. I am fading like a shadow at dusk;
|
|
I am brushed off like a locust.
|
|
|
|
24. My knees are weak from fasting,
|
|
and I am skin and bones.
|
|
|
|
25. I am a joke to people everywhere;
|
|
when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
|
|
|
|
26. Help me, O LORD my God!
|
|
Save me because of your unfailing love.
|
|
|
|
27. Let them see that this is your doing,
|
|
that you yourself have done it, LORD.
|
|
|
|
28. Then let them curse me if they like,
|
|
but you will bless me!
|
|
When they attack me, they will be disgraced!
|
|
But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!
|
|
|
|
29. May my accusers be clothed with disgrace;
|
|
may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.
|
|
|
|
30. But I will give repeated thanks to the LORD,
|
|
praising him to everyone.
|
|
|
|
31. For he stands beside the needy,
|
|
ready to save them from those who condemn them.
