Psalm 109:1-31 NET

[1] O God whom I praise, do not ignore me. [2] For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me. [3] They surround me and say hateful things; they attack me for no reason. [4] They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray. [5] They repay me evil for good, and hate for love. [6] Appoint an evil man to testify against him. May an accuser stand at his right side. [7] When he is judged, he will be found guilty. Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful. [8] May his days be few. May another take his job. [9] May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. [10] May his children roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home. [11] May the creditor seize all he owns. May strangers loot his property. [12] May no one show him kindness. May no one have compassion on his fatherless children. [13] May his descendants be cut off. May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives. [14] May his ancestors' sins be remembered by the LORD. May his mother's sin not be forgotten. [15] May the LORD be constantly aware of them, and cut off the memory of his children from the earth. [16] For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened. [17] He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings. [18] He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil. [19] May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually. [20] May the LORD repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about me. [21] O Sovereign LORD, intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation. Because your loyal love is good, deliver me. [22] For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me. [23] I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust. [24] I am so starved my knees shake; I have turned into skin and bones. [25] I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads. [26] Help me, O LORD my God. Because you are faithful to me, deliver me. [27] Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, LORD, have accomplished it. [28] They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice. [29] My accusers will be covered with shame, and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe. [30] I will thank the LORD profusely. In the middle of a crowd I will praise him, [31] because he stands at the right hand of the needy, to deliver him from those who threaten his life.
