109:1  For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, Do not be silent!
109:2  For they have opened the wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
109:3  They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause.
109:4  In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer.
109:5  Thus they have repaid me evil for good And hatred for my love.
109:6  Appoint a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand.
109:7  When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, And let his prayer become sin.
109:8  Let his days be few; Let another take his office.
109:9  Let his children be fatherless And his wife a widow.
109:10  Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes.
109:11  Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the product of his labor.
109:12  Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children.
109:13  Let his posterity be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out.
109:14  Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:15  Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth;
109:16  Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.
109:17  He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
109:18  But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones.
109:19  Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself.
109:20  Let this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my soul.
109:21  But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;
109:22  For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
109:23  I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust.
109:24  My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.
109:25  I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head.
109:26  Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness.
109:27  And let them know that this is Your hand; You, LORD, have done it.
109:28  Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, they shall be ashamed, But Your servant shall be glad.
109:29  Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
109:30  With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the LORD; And in the midst of many I will praise Him.
109:31  For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.
