109:001

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

109:002

They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause

109:003

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer

109:004

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love

109:005

Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand

109:006

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin

109:007

Let his days be few; and let another take his office

109:008

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow

109:009

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places

109:010

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour

109:011

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children

109:012

Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out

109:013

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out

109:014

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth

109:015

Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart

109:016

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him

109:017

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

109:018

Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually

109:019

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul

109:020

But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me

109:021

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me

109:022

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust

109:023

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness

109:024

I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads

109:025

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy

109:026

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it

109:027

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice

109:028

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle

109:029

I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude

109:030

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul
