Psalms 109

God of my praise, don’t remain silent,

for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me.

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,

In return for my love, they are my adversaries;

They have rewarded me evil for good,

Set a wicked man over him.

When he is judged, let him come out guilty.

Let his days be few.

Let his children be fatherless,

Let his children be wandering beggars.

Let the creditor seize all that he has.

Let there be no one to extend kindness to him,

Let his posterity be cut off.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.

Let them be before Yahweh continually,

because he didn’t remember to show kindness,

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,

This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh,

But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake,

for I am poor and needy.

I fade away like an evening shadow.

My knees are weak through fasting.

I have also become a reproach to them.

Help me, Yahweh, my God.

that they may know that this is your hand;

They may curse, but you bless.

Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.

I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth.

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy,
