Psalm 109:1-31 MEV

[1] Do not remain silent, O God of my praise! [2] For the mouth of the wicked and deceitful are opened against me; they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. [3] They encircled me with words of hatred and fought against me without cause. [4] In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I give myself to prayer. [5] They have rewarded me evil for good and hatred for my love. [6] Set a wicked man against him, and let an accuser stand at his right hand. [7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned, and let his prayer be reckoned 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 wandering beggars; let them seek their bread far from their desolate places. [11] Let the creditor seize all that he has; let the strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. [12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto him, neither let there be any to pity his fatherless children. [13] Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation following let his 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 the LORD may cut off the memory of them from the earth. [16] For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and broken-hearted to their death. [17] As he loved cursing, so let it come over him; as he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. [18] As he clothed himself with cursing like a garment, so let it soak into him like water, and like oil into his bones. [19] Let it be unto him as the garment that covers him, and a belt that he continually wears. [20] Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of those who speak evil against my soul. [21] But You, O GOD my Lord, work on my behalf for your name's sake; because your mercy is good, deliver me. [22] For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am gone like a shadow in the evening; I am tossed as the locust. [24] My knees are weak through fasting, and my body is thin with no fat. [25] I am a reproach to my accusers; when they look upon me, they shake their heads. [26] Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to Your mercy, [27] that they may know that this is by Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it. [28] Let them curse, but You will bless; when they arise, let them be ashamed, but let Your servant rejoice. [29] Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own disgrace like a cloak. [30] I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; indeed, I will praise Him among the multitude. [31] For He stands at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.
