Psalm 109

1 Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;
Compare verse
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
Compare verse
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
Compare verse
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself to prayer.
Compare verse
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Compare verse
6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Compare verse
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Compare verse
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Compare verse
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Compare verse
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Compare verse
11 Let the extortionist catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
Compare verse
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
Compare verse
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Compare verse
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Compare verse
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Compare verse
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
Compare verse
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
Compare verse
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
Compare verse
19 Let it be to him as the garment which covers him, and for a girdle with which he is girded continually.
Compare verse
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
Compare verse
21 But do you for me, O GOD the Lord, for your name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver you me.
Compare verse
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
Compare verse
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
Compare verse
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh fails of fatness.
Compare verse
25 I became also a reproach to them: when they looked on me they shook their heads.
Compare verse
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy:
Compare verse
27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
Compare verse
28 Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
Compare verse
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
Compare verse
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
Compare verse
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
