- 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;
- 3. They have spoken against me with a lying tongue and with a hateful voice, and have fought against me without a cause.
- 4. For my love they reproach me; but I have prayed for them.
- 5. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
- 6. ¶ Command thou vengeance against them; and let Satan stand at their right hand.
- 7. When they shall be judged, let them be condemned, and let their prayer become sin.
- 8. Let their days be few; and let others take what they have stored.
- 9. Let their children be fatherless and their wives widows.
- 10. Let their children be continually vagabonds, and beg; let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
- 11. Let the creditor take all that they have, and let the strangers make them to be weakened.
- 12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto them; neither let there be any to pity their fatherless children.
- 13. Let their end be destruction, and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
- 14. Let the iniquity of their fathers be remembered; and let not the sin of their mothers 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 they remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy, and him whose heart is sorrowful to death.
- 17. They loved cursing, and delighted not in blessings.
- 18. They clothed themselves with cursing like armor; it penetrated into them like water, like oil into their bones.
- 19. Let it be to them like a mantle which covers them, and like a girdle wherewith they are girded continually.
- 20. These are the deeds of those who reproach the LORD, and of those who speak evil against me.
- 21. ¶ But thou, O LORD, do good to me for thy name’s sake; because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
- 22. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.
- 23. I am bent like the shadow when it declines; I am tossed up and down as the locust.
- 24. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh wastes away.
- 25. And I became also a reproach to 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 be cursed; but thou shalt be blessed, and let thou thy servant rejoice.
- 29. Let them that had a grudge against me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with it as with a mantle.
- 30. I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
- 31. He has stood at the right hand of the poor, to save his soul from judgment.
