chapter_Psalm_109
Psalm 109:1: To the Overseer. &#8212; A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent, Psalm 109:2: For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me &#8212; A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred! Psalm 109:3: They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause. Psalm 109:4: For my love they oppose me, and I &#8212; prayer! Psalm 109:5: And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Psalm 109:6: Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand. Psalm 109:7: In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin. Psalm 109:8: His days are few, his oversight another taketh, Psalm 109:9: His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow. Psalm 109:10: And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places. Psalm 109:11: An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour. Psalm 109:12: He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans. Psalm 109:13: His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out. Psalm 109:14: The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out. Psalm 109:15: They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial. Psalm 109:16: Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart &#8212; to slay, Psalm 109:17: And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him. Psalm 109:18: And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones. Psalm 109:19: It is to him as apparel &#8212; he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on. Psalm 109:20: This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul. Psalm 109:21: And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me. Psalm 109:22: For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst. Psalm 109:23: As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust. Psalm 109:24: My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness. Psalm 109:25: And I &#8212; I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head. Psalm 109:26: Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness. Psalm 109:27: And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it. Psalm 109:28: They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice. Psalm 109:29: Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame. Psalm 109:30: I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him, Psalm 109:31: For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
