Psalms 109

The Darby Translation DBY

1 {To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} O God of my praise, be not silent:

2 For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

3 And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

4 For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

7 When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

8 Let his days be few, let another take his office;

9 Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

10 Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

11 Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

16 Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

17 And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

18 And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

19 Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 But do *thou* for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

22 For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

25 And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

26 Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that *thou*, Jehovah, hast done it.

28 Let *them* curse, but bless *thou*; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

30 I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

New International Version NIV

1 My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,

2 for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

3 With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.

4 In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.

5 They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.

6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.

8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.

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

10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.

13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.

14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.

17 He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come back on him. He found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him.

18 He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil.

19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.

20 May this be the LORD’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.

21 But you, Sovereign LORD, help me for your name’s sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.

22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.

25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, LORD my God; save me according to your unfailing love.

27 Let them know that it is your hand, that you, LORD, have done it.

28 While they curse, may you bless; may those who attack me be put to shame, but may your servant rejoice.

29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.

30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD; in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.

31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
