Psalms 109:4 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID. 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, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.
1 To the chief Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732 Hold H2790 not H408 thy peace , O God H430 of my praise; H8416
2 For H3588 the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 and the mouth H6310 of the deceitful H4820 are opened H6605 against H5921 me : they have spoken H1696 against H854 me with a lying H8267 tongue. H3956
3 They compassed me about H5437 also with words H1697 of hatred; H8135 and fought against H3898 me without a cause. H2600
4 For H8478 my love H160 they are my adversaries: H7853 but I H589 give myself unto prayer. H8605
5 And they have rewarded H7760 H5921 me evil H7451 for H8478 good, H2896 and hatred H8135 for H8478 my love. H160
6 Set H6485 thou a wicked man H7563 over H5921 him : and let Satan H7854 stand H5975 at H5921 his right hand. H3225
7 When he shall be judged, H8199 let him be condemned H3318 H7563 : and let H3318 his prayer H8605 become H1961 sin. H2401
8 Let his days H3117 be H1961 few; H4592 and let another H312 take H3947 his office. H6486
9 Let his children H1121 be H1961 fatherless, H3490 and his wife H802 a widow. H490
10 Let his children H1121 be continually vagabonds H5128 H5128 , and beg: H7592 let them seek H1875 their bread also out of their desolate places H4480 H2723 .
11 Let the extortioner H5383 catch H5367 all H3605 that H834 he hath ; and let the strangers H2114 spoil H962 his labor. H3018
12 Let there be H1961 none H408 to extend H4900 mercy H2617 unto him: neither H408 let there be H1961 any to favor H2603 his fatherless children. H3490
13 Let his posterity H319 be H1961 cut off; H3772 and in the generation H1755 following H312 let their name H8034 be blotted out. H4229
14 Let the iniquity H5771 of his fathers H1 be remembered H2142 with H413 the LORD; H3068 and let not H408 the sin H2403 of his mother H517 be blotted out. H4229
15 Let them be H1961 before H5048 the LORD H3068 continually, H8548 that he may cut off H3772 the memory H2143 of them from the earth H4480 H776 .
16 Because H3282 that H834 he remembered H2142 not H3808 to show H6213 mercy, H2617 but persecuted H7291 the poor H6041 and needy H34 man, H376 that he might even slay H4191 the broken H3512 in heart. H3824
17 As he loved H157 cursing, H7045 so let it come H935 unto him : as he delighted H2654 not H3808 in blessing, H1293 so let it be far H7368 from H4480 him.
18 As he clothed H3847 himself with cursing H7045 like as with his garment, H4055 so let it come H935 into his bowels H7130 like water, H4325 and like oil H8081 into his bones. H6106
19 Let it be H1961 unto him as the garment H899 which covereth H5844 him , and for a girdle H4206 wherewith he is girded H2296 continually. H8548
20 Let this H2063 be the reward H6468 of mine adversaries H7853 from H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 and of them that speak H1696 evil H7451 against H5921 my soul. H5315
21 But do H6213 thou H859 for H854 me , O GOD H3069 the Lord, H136 for thy name's sake H4616 H8034 : because H3588 thy mercy H2617 is good, H2896 deliver H5337 thou me.
22 For H3588 I H595 am poor H6041 and needy, H34 and my heart H3820 is wounded H2490 within H7130 me.
23 I am gone H1980 like the shadow H6738 when it declineth: H5186 I am tossed up and down H5287 as the locust. H697
24 My knees H1290 are weak H3782 through fasting H4480 H6685 ; and my flesh H1320 faileth H3584 of fatness H4480 H8081 .
25 I H589 became H1961 also a reproach H2781 unto them: when they looked upon H7200 me they shaked H5128 their heads. H7218
26 Help H5826 me , O LORD H3068 my God: H430 O save H3467 me according to thy mercy: H2617
27 That H3588 they may know H3045 that this H2063 is thy hand; H3027 that thou, H859 LORD, H3068 hast done H6213 it.
28 Let them H1992 curse, H7043 but bless H1288 thou: H859 when they arise, H6965 let them be ashamed; H954 but let thy servant H5650 rejoice. H8055
29 Let mine adversaries H7853 be clothed H3847 with shame, H3639 and let them cover H5844 themselves with their own confusion, H1322 as with a mantle. H4598
30 I will greatly H3966 praise H3034 the LORD H3068 with my mouth; H6310 yea , I will praise H1984 him among H8432 the multitude. H7227
31 For H3588 he shall stand H5975 at the right hand H3225 of the poor, H34 to save H3467 him from those that condemn H4480 H8199 his soul. H5315
