Psalms 109 · Read in context

109:1

God of my praise, don’t remain silent,

109:2

for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

109:3

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

109:4

In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

109:5

They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

109:6

Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

109:7

When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

109:8

Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

109:9

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

109:10

Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

109:11

Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

109:12

Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.

109:13

Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

109:14

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

109:16

because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

109:17

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

109:18

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

109:19

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

109:20

This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.

109:21

But deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

109:22

for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

109:23

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

109:24

My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

109:25

I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

109:26

Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

109:27

that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.

109:28

They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

109:29

Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

109:30

I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

109:31

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
