The Psalms
109. fejezet
1. vers
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
2. vers
for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3. vers
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4. vers
In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
5. vers
They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6. vers
Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7. vers
When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
8. vers
Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
9. vers
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10. vers
Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
11. vers
Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
12. vers
Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
13. vers
Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14. vers
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15. vers
Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
16. vers
because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
17. vers
Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
18. vers
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
19. vers
Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
20. vers
This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.
21. vers
But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
22. vers
for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23. vers
I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
24. vers
My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25. vers
I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26. vers
Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
27. vers
that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.
28. vers
They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
29. vers
Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30. vers
I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
31. vers
For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
