1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; WBS — Psalm 109:1
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. WBS — Psalm 109:2
3 They encompassed me also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. WBS — Psalm 109:3
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself to prayer. WBS — Psalm 109:4
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. WBS — Psalm 109:5
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. WBS — Psalm 109:6
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. WBS — Psalm 109:7
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. WBS — Psalm 109:8
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. WBS — Psalm 109:9
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. WBS — Psalm 109:10
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers spoil his labor. WBS — Psalm 109:11
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. WBS — Psalm 109:12
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. WBS — Psalm 109:13
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. WBS — Psalm 109:14
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. WBS — Psalm 109:15
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. WBS — Psalm 109:16
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. WBS — Psalm 109:17
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. WBS — Psalm 109:18
19 Let it be to him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle with which he is girded continually. WBS — Psalm 109:19
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. WBS — Psalm 109:20
21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. WBS — Psalm 109:21
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. WBS — Psalm 109:22
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. WBS — Psalm 109:23
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. WBS — Psalm 109:24
25 I became also a reproach to them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads. WBS — Psalm 109:25
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: WBS — Psalm 109:26
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. WBS — Psalm 109:27
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. WBS — Psalm 109:28
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. WBS — Psalm 109:29
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yes, I will praise him among the multitude. WBS — Psalm 109:30
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. WBS — Psalm 109:31
