Psalms 109

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.

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (108-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David.> (108-2) O God, be not thou silent in my praise:

2 (108-2) for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.

3 (108-3) They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.

4 (108-4) Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.

5 (108-5) And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.

6 (108-6) Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.

7 (108-7) When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.

8 (108-8) May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.

9 (108-9) May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10 (108-10) Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.

11 (108-11) May the usurer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.

12 (108-12) May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.

13 (108-13) May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.

14 (108-14) May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 (108-15) May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:

16 (108-16) because he remembered not to shew mercy,

17 (108-17) But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.

18 (108-18) And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.

19 (108-19) May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.

20 (108-20) This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.

21 (108-21) But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me,

22 (108-22) For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.

23 (108-23) I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.

24 (108-24) My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.

25 (108-25) And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads.

26 (108-26) Help me, O Lord my God; save me; according to thy mercy.

27 (108-27) And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.

28 (108-28) They will curse and thou wilt bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.

29 (108-29) Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.

30 (108-30) I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.

31 (108-31) Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors.
