Psalm 109:1-31 KJ21
[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; they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. [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, but I give myself unto prayer. [5] They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. [6] Set Thou a wicked man over him, and let Satan stand at his right hand. [7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned, and let his prayer be counted as 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 be continually vagabonds and beg; let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. [11] Let the extortioner catch all that he hath, and let the strangers despoil his labor. [12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto him, neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. [13] Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation to follow let their name be blotted out. [14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by 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 he remembered not to show 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; as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. [18] As he clothed himself with cursing 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 as 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; because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me. [22] For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am gone like the shadow when it declineth; I am tossed up and down as the locust. [24] My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh faileth of fatness. [25] I have become a reproach also unto them; when they looked upon me they shook their heads. [26] Help me, O LORD my God! O save me according to Thy mercy, [27] that they may know that this is Thy hand-that Thou, LORD, hast done it. [28] Let them curse, but Thou bless; when they arise let them be ashamed, but let Thy servant rejoice. [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. [31] For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
