< Psalms 109 >

1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O God of praise my may not you be silent. 2 For [the] mouth of [the] wicked and a mouth of deceit on me they have opened they have spoken with me a tongue of falsehood. 3 And words of hatred they have surrounded me and they have fought against me without cause. 4 In place of love my they accuse me and I [am] prayer. 5 And they have put on me evil in place of good and hatred in place of love my. 6 Appoint on him a wicked [person] and an accuser let him stand on right [hand] his. 7 When is judged he let him come forth guilty and prayer his let it become sin. 8 May they be days his few office his may he take another. 9 May they be children his fatherless ones and wife his a widow. 10 And really may they wander children his and they will beg and they will seek away from ruins their. 11 May he strike a creditor to all that [belongs] to him and may they plunder strangers property his. 12 May not it belong to him [one who] prolongs loyalty and may not it belong [one who] shows favor to fatherless children his. 13 May it be posterity his to cut off in a generation another may it be wiped out name their. 14 May it be remembered - [the] iniquity of ancestors his to Yahweh and [the] sin of mother his may not it be wiped out. 15 Let them be before Yahweh continually and may he cut off from [the] earth memory their. 16 Because that - not he remembered to do loyalty and he harassed anyone poor and needy and disheartened of heart to put to [them] death. 17 And he loved a curse and it came to him and not he delighted in blessing and it was far from him. 18 And he put on a curse like garment his and it went like water in inward part[s] his and like oil in bones his. 19 May it be for him like a garment [which] he wraps himself and to a waistband [which] continually he girds on it. 20 This [be] [the] wage[s] of accusers my from with Yahweh and those [who] speak evil on self my. 21 And you - O Yahweh O Lord deal with me for [the] sake of name your for [is] good covenant loyalty your deliver me. 22 For [am] poor and needy I and heart my someone has pierced in inner being my. 23 Like a shadow when stretches out it I have vanished I have been shaken off like locust. 24 Knees my they have staggered from fasting and flesh my it has become lean from fatness. 25 And I - I have become a reproach to them they see me they shake! head their. 26 Help me O Yahweh God my save me according to covenant loyalty your. 27 So they may know that [is] hand your this you O Yahweh you have done it. 28 They will curse they and you you will bless they have arisen - and they have been ashamed and servant your he will rejoice. 29 May they be clothed accusers my ignominy and may they be wrapped like robe shame their. 30 I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with mouth my and in among many [people] I will praise him. 31 For he stands to [the] right [hand] of [the] needy to save [him] from [those who] judge self his.
