Psalm 109:1-31 AMP

[1] O God of my praise! Do not keep silent, [2] 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. [3] They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And have fought against me without a cause. [4] In return for my love, they attack me, But I am in prayer. [5] They have repaid me evil for good, And hatred for my love. [6] Appoint a wicked man against him, And let an attacker stand at his right hand [to kill him]. [7] When he enters into dispute, let wickedness come about. Let his prayer [for help] result [only] in sin. [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 wander and beg; Let them seek their food and be driven far from their ruined homes. [11] Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the product of his labor. [12] Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, Nor let anyone be gracious to his fatherless children. [13] Let his descendants be cut off, And in the following generation let their name be blotted out. [14] Let the wickedness of his fathers be remembered by the LORD; And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out. [15] Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth; [16] Because the man did not remember to show kindness, But persecuted the suffering and needy man, And the brokenhearted, to put them to death. [17] He also loved cursing, and it came [back] to him; He did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. [18] He clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it seeped into his inner self like water And like [anointing] oil into his bones. [19] Let it be to him as a robe with which he covers himself, And as a sash with which he is constantly bound. [20] Let this be the reward of my attackers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my life. [21] But You, O GOD, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake; Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me; [22] For I am suffering and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am vanishing like a shadow when it lengthens and fades; I am shaken off like the locust. [24] My knees are unsteady from fasting; And my flesh is gaunt and without fatness. [25] I also have become a reproach and an object of taunting to others; When they see me, they shake their heads [in derision]. [26] Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness— [27] And let them know that this is Your hand; You, LORD, have done it. [28] Let them curse, but You bless. When adversaries arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. [29] Let my attackers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. [30] I will give great praise and thanks to the LORD with my mouth; And in the midst of many I will praise Him. [31] For He will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.
