Psalms 109

Psa. 109:1	O God of my praise, do not be silent;
Psa. 109:2	For the mouth of the wicked man and the mouth of deceit are opened / against me; / They speak to me with a lying tongue.
Psa. 109:3	And with words of hatred they have surrounded me / And have fought against me without cause.
Psa. 109:4	In return for my love they have become my adversaries, / But I am [all] prayer.
Psa. 109:5	And they have set against me evil in return for good / And hatred in return for my love.
Psa. 109:6	Appoint a wicked man over him, / And let an adversary stand at his right hand.
Psa. 109:7	When he is judged, let him come forth wicked; / And let his prayer be counted as sin.
Psa. 109:8	May his days be few; / May another take his office.
Psa. 109:9	May his children be orphans, / And his wife a widow.
Psa. 109:10	And may his children wander all about and beg, / And may they seek [food] far from their desolated ruins.
Psa. 109:11	May the creditor seize all that he has, / And may strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
Psa. 109:12	May there be no one to extend him mercy, / Nor anyone to be kind to his orphans.
Psa. 109:13	May his posterity be cut off; / In the generation following may his name be blotted out.
Psa. 109:14	May his fathers' iniquity be remembered before Jehovah, / And may his mother's sin not be blotted out.
Psa. 109:15	May they be before Jehovah continually, / So that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
Psa. 109:16	Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, / But persecuted the poor and needy and brokenhearted, / To put [them] to death.
Psa. 109:17	Indeed he loved cursing, so it came on him; / And he took no delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
Psa. 109:18	And he clothed himself with cursing like his garment, / So it came into his inward parts like water / And into his bones like oil.
Psa. 109:19	Let it be to him like the cloak that he wraps around himself, / And as a belt with which he constantly girds himself.
Psa. 109:20	This is the reward from Jehovah for my adversaries / And for those who speak evil against my soul.
Psa. 109:21	But You, O Jehovah Lord, deal with me, / For Your name's sake; / Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me.
Psa. 109:22	For I am poor and needy, / And my heart is wounded within me.
Psa. 109:23	I am gone like a shadow that declines; / I am shaken off like the locust.
Psa. 109:24	My knees wobble through fasting, / And my flesh has become lean, without fatness.
Psa. 109:25	I have also become a reproach to them: / When they see me, they shake their heads.
Psa. 109:26	Help me, O Jehovah my God; / Save me according to Your lovingkindness;
Psa. 109:27	And they will know that this is Your hand, / [That] it is You, O Jehovah, who have done it.
Psa. 109:28	Let them curse, but You bless; / When they arise, they will be put to shame, / And Your servant will rejoice.
Psa. 109:29	May my adversaries be clothed with humiliation, / And may they wrap themselves with their own shame as with a mantle.
Psa. 109:30	I will give much thanks to Jehovah with my mouth, / And in the midst of the multitude I will praise Him;
Psa. 109:31	For He stands at the right hand of the needy / To save [him] from those who judge his soul.
