Psalms 108

1 My heart is confident, God; I will sing; I will sing praises with the whole of my being.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
3 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4 For Your faithful love is higher than the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
5 God, be exalted above the heavens; let Your glory be over the whole earth.
6 Save with Your right hand and answer me so that those You love may be rescued.
7 God has spoken in His sanctuary: "I will triumph! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine, and Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter.
9 Moab is My washbasin; on Edom I throw My sandal. Over Philistia I shout in triumph."
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Have You not rejected us, God? God, You do not march out with our armies.
12 Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless.
13 With God we will perform valiantly; He will trample our foes.

Psalms 109

1 God of my praise, do not be silent.
2 For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.
3 They surround me with hateful words and attack me without cause.
4 In return for my love they accuse me, but I continue to pray.
5 They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set a wicked person over him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and let his prayer be counted as sin.
8 Let his days be few; let another take over his position.
9 Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children wander as beggars, searching [for food] far from their demolished homes.
11 Let a creditor seize all he has; let strangers plunder what he has worked for.
12 Let no one show him kindness, and let no one be gracious to his fatherless children.
13 Let the line of his descendants be cut off; let their name be blotted out in the next generation.
14 Let his forefathers' guilt be remembered before the Lord, and do not let his mother's sin be blotted out.
15 Let their sins always remain before the Lord, and let Him cut off [all] memory of them from the earth.
16 For he did not think to show kindness, but pursued the wretched poor and the brokenhearted in order to put them to death.
17 He loved cursing-let it fall on him; he took no delight in blessing-let it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing like his coat- let it enter his body like water and go into his bones like oil.
19 Let it be like a robe he wraps around himself, like a belt he always wears.
20 Let this be the Lord's payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.
21 But You, God my Lord, deal [kindly] with me because of Your name; deliver me because of the goodness of Your faithful love.
22 For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak from fasting, and my body is emaciated.
25 I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads [in scorn].
26 Help me, Lord my God; save me according to Your faithful love
27 so they may know that this is Your hand and that You, Lord, have done it.
28 Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.
29 My accusers will be clothed with disgrace; they will wear their shame like a cloak.
30 I will fervently thank the Lord with my mouth; I will praise Him in the presence of many.
31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who would condemn him.

Psalms 110

1 The Lord declared to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool."
2 The Lord will extend Your mighty scepter from Zion. Rule over Your surrounding enemies.
3 Your people will volunteer on Your day of battle. In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, the dew of Your youth belongs to You.
4 The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back: "Forever, You are a priest like Melchizedek."
5 The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings on the day of His anger.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses; He will crush leaders over the entire world.
7 He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore, He will lift up His head.
