1. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; | |
2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me | |
3. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. | |
4. For my love they are my adversaries | |
5. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. | |
6. Set thou a wicked man over him | |
7. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned | |
8. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. | |
9. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. | |
10. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg | |
11. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. | |
12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him | |
13. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. | |
14. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. | |
15. Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. | |
16. Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. | |
17. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him | |
18. 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. | |
19. Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. | |
20. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. | |
21. But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake | |
22. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. | |
23. I am gone like the shadow when it declineth | |
24. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. | |
25. I became also a reproach unto them | |
26. Help me, O Lord my God Image | |
27. That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. | |
28. Let them curse, but bless thou | |
29. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. | |
30. I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. Image | |
31. For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. |
