Psalm 109

109[To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.] Be not silent, O God of my praise!H5329H4210H1732H2790H430H84162For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.H6310H7563H6310H4820H6605H1696H8267H39563They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.H5437H1697H8135H3898H26004In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.H160H7853H86055So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.H7760H7451H2896H8135H1606Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.H6485H7563H7854H5975H32257When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin!H8199H3318H7563H8605H24018May his days be few; may another take his office!H3117H4592H312H3947H64869May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow!H1121H3490H802H49010May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!H1121H5128H5128H7592H1875H272311May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!H5383H5367H2114H962H301812Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children!H4900H2617H2603H349013May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!H319H3772H1755H312H8034H422914May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!H5771H1H2142H3068H2403H517H422915Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth!H3068H8548H3772H2143H77616For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.H2142H6213H2617H7291H6041H34H376H4191H3512H382417He loved to curse; let curses come upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!H157H7045H935H2654H1293H736818He clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones!H3847H7045H4055H935H7130H4325H8081H610619May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts on every day!H899H5844H4206H2296H854820May this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my life!H6468H7853H3068H1696H7451H531521But you, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf for your name's sake; because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!H6213H3069H136H8034H2617H2896H533722For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.H6041H34H3820H2490H713023I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust.H1980H6738H5186H5287H69724My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat.H1290H3782H6685H1320H3584H808125I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads.H2781H7200H5128H721826Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to your steadfast love!H5826H3068H430H3467H261727Let them know that this is your hand; you, O LORD, have done it!H3045H3027H3068H621328Let them curse, but you will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad!H7043H1288H6965H954H5650H805529May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!H7853H3847H3639H5844H1322H459830With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.H3966H3034H3068H6310H1984H8432H722731For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.H5975H3225H34H3467H8199H5315
