Psalm 109 - To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.

Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

For the mouth of the wicked and
the mouth of the deceitful are

opened against me: they have spoken
against me with a lying tongue.

They compassed me about also
with words of hatred; and fought

against me without a cause.

For my love they are my adversaries:
but I give myself unto prayer.

And they have rewarded me evil
for good, and hatred for my love.

Set thou a wicked man over him: and
let Satan stand at his right hand.

When he shall be judged, let him be
condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let his days be few; and
let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds,
and beg: let them seek their bread

also out of their desolate places.

Let the extortioner catch
all that he hath; and let the

strangers spoil his labour.

Let there be none to extend mercy
unto him: neither let there be any

to favour his fatherless children.

Let his posterity be cut off;
and in the generation following

let their name be blotted out.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be
remembered with the Lord; and let not

the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Let them be before the Lord
continually, that he may cut off

the memory of them from the earth.

Because that he remembered not
to shew mercy, but persecuted the

poor and needy man, that he might
even slay the broken in heart.

As he loved cursing, so let it come
unto him: as he delighted not in

blessing, so let it be far from him.

As he clothed himself with cursing
like as with his garment, so

let it come into his bowels like
water, and like oil into his bones.

Let it be unto him as the garment
which covereth him, and for a girdle

wherewith he is girded continually.

Let this be the reward of mine
adversaries from the Lord, and of

them that speak evil against my soul.

But do thou for me, O God the Lord,
for thy name's sake: because thy

mercy is good, deliver thou me.

For I am poor and needy, and
my heart is wounded within me.

I am gone like the shadow
when it declineth: I am tossed

up and down as the locust.

My knees are weak through fasting;
and my flesh faileth of fatness.

I became also a reproach unto
them: when they looked upon

me they shaked their heads.

Help me, O Lord my God: O save
me according to thy mercy:

That they may know that this is thy
hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when
they arise, let them be ashamed;

but let thy servant rejoice.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with
shame, and let them cover themselves with

their own confusion, as with a mantle.

I will greatly praise the Lord
with my mouth; yea, I will

praise him among the multitude.

For he shall stand at the right
hand of the poor, to save him

from those that condemn his soul.
