109:1  God of my praise, do not be silent!
109:2  Because the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceiver is opened against me; they have spoken with me with a false tongue.
109:3  With the voice of hatred they have contended with me for nothing.
109:4  In exchange for my love they regarded me with malice, and I have been praying for them.
109:5  They paid me evil for good and hatred for love.
109:6  Command evil against them and Satan shall stand at their right hand!
109:7  And when they are judged they will go out condemned and their prayer will be sin!
109:8  Their days will be few and whatever is kept for them others will take.
109:9  Their children shall be orphans and their wives, widows.
109:10  (This verse is missing in the Peshitta)
109:11  The creditor will seize upon all that they have and foreigners will weaken their power.
109:12  No one will be compassionate to them, neither will there be one to show mercy to their orphans.
109:13  Their end will be destruction, and in the following generation their name will be blotted out.
109:14  The evil of their fathers will be remembered and the sins of their mothers will not be blotted out.
109:15  But they will be before Lord Jehovah at all times and he will destroy their memory from the Earth.
109:16  Because they did not remember to do good and they persecuted the poor and afflicted him whose heart grieves to death.
109:17  They loved curses and they did not choose blessings.
109:18  And they wore curses like a supply of arms and they entered into them like waters and like oil into their bones.
109:19  It shall be for them like a cloak that covers them and like a belt around their waist always.
109:20  This is the work of those who regard Lord Jehovah as evil and of those who speak evil against my soul.
109:21  And you, Lord Jehovah, work with me because of your Name; because your favor is good, save me!
109:22  Because I am poor and afflicted my heart is troubled within me.
109:23  My steps have declined like the shadow and I am driven like locusts!
109:24  My knees are weakened from fasting and my flesh grows lean of fat.
109:25  And I have been a reproach to them; they saw me and they shook their heads.
109:26  Help me, Lord Jehovah, my God, and save me according to your kindness!
109:27  That they may know that this is of your hand and that you have done it.
109:28  They will be cursed and you will be blessed and your Servant will rejoice.
109:29  Those who have regarded me as evil will be clothed in shame and they will be covered with it like a mantle.
109:30  I shall confess Lord Jehovah with my mouth and I shall glorify him among many.
109:31  Because he stood at the right hand of the afflicted one to save his soul from judgment.
