Psalm 109 -- To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
[1] Be not silent, O God of my praise!
[2] For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me,
speaking against me with lying tongues.
[3] They encircle me with words of hate,
and attack me without cause.
[4] In return for my love they accuse me,
but I give myself to prayer.
[5] So they reward me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
[6] Appoint a wicked man against them;
let an accuser stand at their right hand.
[7] When they are tried, let them come forth guilty;
let their prayer be counted as sin!
[8] May their days be few;
may another take their office!
[9] May their children be fatherless and motherless
and their spouse a widow or widower!
[10] May their children wander about and beg,
seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
[11] May the creditor seize all that they have;
may strangers plunder the fruits of their toil!
[12] Let there be none to extend kindness to them,
nor any to pity their orphaned children!
[13] May their posterity be cut off;
may their name be blotted out in the second generation!
[14] May the iniquity of their fathers be remembered before the LORD,
and let not the sin of their mother be blotted out!
[15] Let them be before the LORD continually,
that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth!
[16] For they did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
[17] They loved to curse; let curses come upon them!
They did not delight in blessing; may it be far from them!
[18] They clothed themselves with cursing as their coat;
may it soak into their body like water,
like oil into their bones!
[19] May it be like a garment that they wrap around themselves,
like a belt that they put on every day!
[20] May this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD,
of those who speak evil against my life!
[21] But you, O GOD my Lord,
deal on my behalf for your name’s sake;
because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!
[22] For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is stricken within me.
[23] I am gone like a shadow at evening;
I am shaken off like a locust.
[24] My knees are weak through fasting;
my body has become gaunt, with no fat.
[25] I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they wag their heads.
[26] Help me, O LORD my God!
Save me according to your steadfast love!
[27] Let them know that this is your hand;
you, O LORD, have done it!
[28] Let them curse, but you will bless!
They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad!
[29] May my accusers be clothed with dishonor;
may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!
[30] With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD;
I will praise him in the midst of the throng.
[31] For he stands at the right hand of the needy one,
to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.
