Psalm 109

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm.> God of my praise, let my prayer be answered;

2 For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.

3 Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.

4 For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.

5 They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.

6 Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.

7 When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.

8 Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.

9 Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.

10 Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.

11 Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.

12 Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.

13 Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.

14 Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.

15 Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.

16 Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.

17 As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

18 He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

19 Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.

20 Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.

21 But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.

22 For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.

23 I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.

24 My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.

25 As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.

26 Give me help, O Lord my God; in your mercy be my saviour;

27 So that they may see that it is the work of your hand; that you, Lord, have done it.

28 They may give curses but you give blessing; when they come up against me, put them to shame; but let your servant be glad.

29 Let my haters be clothed with shame, covering themselves with shame as with a robe.

30 I will give the Lord great praise with my mouth; yes, I will give praise to him among all the people.

31 For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 09 (For the one directing. Of Dovid. Mizmor) Hold not Thy peace, O Elohei tehillati;

2 For the mouth of the rasha and the mouth of the mirmah are opened against me; they have spoken against me with a leshon sheker (a lying tongue).

3 They surrounded me also with divrei sinah (words of hatred); and attacked me without cause.

4 In return for my ahavah they are my adversaries; but I give myself unto tefillah (prayer).

5 Thus they have laid upon me ra’ah for tovah, and sinah for my ahavah.

6 Set Thou a rasha (wicked man) over him; and let Satan (the Accuser) stand at his yamin (right hand).

7 When he shall be tried, let him be in the judgment condemned; and let his tefillah (prayer) become sin.

8 Let his yamim be few; and let another take his pekuddat [See Ac 1:20 OJBC].

9 Let his banim be yetomim, and his isha an almanah.

10 Let his banim be continually vagabonds, and beg; let them seek from their ruins.

11 Let the nosheh (creditor) seize all that he hath; and let the zarim (strangers) plunder his labor.

12 Let there be none to extend chesed unto him; neither let there be any to favor his yetomim.

13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the dor acher (generation following) let their shem be blotted out.

14 Let the avon of his avot be remembered before Hashem; and let not the chattat immo be blotted out.

15 Let them be before Hashem tamid, that He may cut off the memory of them from ha’aretz.

16 Because he remembered not to show chesed, but persecuted the ish oni and the evyon, that he might even slay the nikheh levav (brokenhearted person).

17 As he loved kelalah (cursing), so it came on him; as he delighted not in brocha (blessing), so it was far from him.

18 As he clothed himself with kelalah as with his garment, so let it come into his inward parts like mayim, and like shemen into his atzmot.

19 Let it be unto him like a beged which covereth him, and for a belt wherewith he is girded tamid (continually).

20 This is the reward of mine adversaries from Hashem, and of them that speak rah against my nefesh.

21 But Thou O Hashem Adonoi, do with me for the sake of Thy Name; because Thy chesed is tov, deliver Thou me.

22 For I am oni and evyon, and my lev is wounded within me.

23 I am gone like a lengthening tzel (shadow); I am shaken off like the arbeh.

24 My knees are weak from a tzom; and my basar faileth of fatness.

25 I became also a cherpah (reproach) unto them; when they looked upon me, they shaked their heads.

26 Help me, O Hashem Elohai; O hoshi’eini (save me) according to Thy chesed;

27 That they may know that this is Thy Yad; that Thou, Hashem, hast done it.

28 Let them make kelalah (curse), but do Thou make brocha; when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let Thy eved rejoice.

29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own shame, as with a me’il (cloak).

30 I will greatly praise Hashem with my mouth; and, I will praise Him among the multitude.

31 For He shall stand at the yamin (right hand) of the evyon (needy), to save him from those that judge with condemnation his nefesh [cf Mt 9:10-11].
