Psalm 109

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

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.

English Standard Version ESV

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 him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin!

8 May his days be few; may another take his office!

9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow!

10 May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!

11 May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!

12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children!

13 May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!

14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his 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 he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

17 He loved to curse; let curses come upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!

18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones!

19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts 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.
