Psalm 109:1-31 LSB

[1] O God of my praise, Do not be silent! [2] For they have opened a wicked mouth and a deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. [3] They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause. [4] In return for my love they accuse me; But I am in prayer. [5] Thus they have set upon me evil for good And hatred for my love. [6] Appoint a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. [7] When he is judged, let him come forth a wicked man, And let his prayer become sin. [8] Let his days be few; Let another take his office. [9] Let his sons be orphans And his wife a widow. [10] Let his sons wander aimlessly and beg; And let them search for food from their ruined homes. [11] Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. [12] Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, And let there be none to be gracious to his orphans. [13] Let those who follow him be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out. [14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before Yahweh, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. [15] Let them be before Yahweh continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth; [16] Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted, the needy man, And the disheartened to put them to death. [17] He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. [18] But he clothed himself with cursing as his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water And like oil into his bones. [19] Let it be to him as a garment with which he wraps himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself. [20] This is the reward of my accusers from Yahweh, And of those who speak evil against my soul. [21] But as for You, O Yahweh, O Lord, deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; [22] For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is pierced within me. [23] I am passing like a shadow when it is stretched out; I am shaken off like the locust. [24] My knees are feeble from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. [25] As for me, I have become a reproach to them; They see me, they wag their head. [26] Help me, O Yahweh my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness. [27] And let them know that this is Your hand; You, O Yahweh, have done it. [28] Let them curse, but You bless; They arise and will be put to shame, But Your slave shall be glad. [29] Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And let them wrap themselves with their own shame as with a robe. [30] With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to Yahweh; And in the midst of many I will praise Him. [31] For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.
