109

To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Hold not thy peaceH2790, O GodH430 of my praiseH8416;2For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 are openedH6605 against me: they have spokenH1696 against me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956.3They compassedH5437 me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135; and foughtH3898 against me without a causeH2600.4For my loveH160 they are my adversariesH7853: but I give myself unto prayerH8605.5And they have rewardedH7760 me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160.6SetH6485 thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975 at his right handH3225.7When he shall be judgedH8199, let him beH3318 condemnedH7563: and let his prayerH8605 become sinH2401.8Let his daysH3117 be fewH4592; and let anotherH312 takeH3947 his officeH6486.9Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490.10Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128 vagabondsH5128, and begH7592: let them seekH1875 their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723.11Let the extortionerH5383 catchH5367 all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114 spoilH962 his labourH3018.12Let there be none to extendH4900 mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603 his fatherless childrenH3490.13Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.14Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with the LORDH3068; and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted outH4229.15Let them be before the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772 the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.

16Because that he rememberedH2142 not to shewH6213 mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291 the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191 the brokenH3512 in heartH3824.17As he lovedH157 cursingH7045, so let it comeH935 unto him: as he delightedH2654 not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from him.18As he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935 into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106.19Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844 him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.20Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853 from the LORDH3068, and of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.

21But doH6213 thou for me, O GODH3069 the LordH136, for thy name'sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou me.22For I am poorH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490 withinH7130 me.23I am goneH1980 like the shadowH6738 when it declinethH5186: I am tossed up and downH5287 as the locustH697.24My kneesH1290 are weakH3782 through fastingH6685; and my fleshH1320 failethH3584 of fatnessH8081.25I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: when they lookedH7200 upon me they shakedH5128 their headsH7218.26HelpH5826 me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430: O saveH3467 me according to thy mercyH2617:27That they may knowH3045 that this is thy handH3027; that thou, LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 it.28Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou: when they ariseH6965, let them be ashamedH954; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.

29Let mine adversariesH7853 be clothedH3847 with shameH3639, and let them coverH5844 themselves with their own confusionH1322, as with a mantleH4598.30I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984 him amongH8432 the multitudeH7227.31For he shall standH5975 at the right handH3225 of the poorH34, to saveH3467 him from those that condemnH8199 his soulH5315.
