- 1. {To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.}<br>
O God of my praise, be not silent: - 2. For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,
- 3. And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.
- 4. For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.
- 5. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
- 6. Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;
- 7. When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;
- 8. Let his days be few, let another take his office;
- 9. Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;
- 10. Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;
- 11. Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;
- 12. Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;
- 13. Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
- 14. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;
- 15. Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:
- 16. Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.
- 17. And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.
- 18. And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;
- 19. Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.
- 20. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
- 21. But do *thou* for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:
- 22. For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
- 23. I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;
- 24. My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;
- 25. And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.
- 26. Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:
- 27. That they may know that this is thy hand; that *thou*, Jehovah, hast done it.
- 28. Let *them* curse, but bless *thou*; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.
- 29. Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
- 30. I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
- 31. For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
