| 1 [[To the Chief Musician. David's. A Melody.]] O God of my praise, do not be silent; |
|
|
| 2 For, the mouth of the lawless one and the mouth of the deceiver, against me, are open, They have spoken to me with false tongue; |

|
|

|
|
| 5 Yea they have returned unto me–Evil for good; and, Hatred for my love. |
|
|
| |
| |
| 6 Set in charge over him, one who is lawless, and let, an accuser, stand at his right hand; |
|
|
| 7 When he is judged, let him go out condemned, and let, his own petition, become a sin; |

|
|
| 9 Let his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow; |
|
|
| 10 Let his children, wander about, and beg, Let them be driven out of their ruins; |
|
|
| 11 Let the creditor take aim at all that he hath, and let strangers prey on the fruit of his toil; |
|
|
| 12 Let him have no one to continue lovingkindness, and there be none to favour his fatherless children; |
|
|
| 13 Let his posterity be for cutting off, In another generation, let their name be wiped out; |
|
|
| 14 Remembered be the iniquity of his fathers against Yahweh, and, the sin of his mother, let it not be wiped out; |
|
|
| 15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, and let the memory of them, be cut off out of the earth. |
|
|
| 16 Because that he remembered not to show lovingkindness, but pursued the man that was oppressed and needy, that, the downhearted, he might slay. |
|
|
| 17 Because he loved cursing, May it have come upon him, Because he delighted not in blessing, May it have kept far from him; |
|
|
| 18 Because he clothed himself in cursing as his outer garment, therefore may it have entered like water into his inward part, and like oil into his bones; |
|
|
| 19 Be it his, as a garment he shall wrap round him, and for a girdle he shall, at all times, gird on: |
|
|
| 20 This, be the reward of mine accusers, from Yahweh, even of them who are speaking wrongfully against my life. |
|
|
| |
| |
| 21 But, thou, Yahweh, Adonay, deal effectually with me, for the sake of thy Name, Since good is thy lovingkindness, O rescue me; |
|
|
| 22 For, oppressed and needy, I am, and, my heart, is wounded within me. |
|
|
| 23 As a shadow when it stretcheth out, I am gone, I am shaken off like the locust; |
|
|
| 24 My knees, tremble from fasting, and, my flesh, faileth of fatness: |
|
|
| 25 So, I, am become a reproach for them, They see me, they shake their head. |
|
|
| 26 Help me! O Yahweh my God, Save me, according to thy lovingkindness: |
|
|
| 27 That they may know that, Thine own hand, this is, Thou, Yahweh, hast done it. |
|
|
| 28 They, may curse if, thou, wilt bless,–Mine assailants, shall be ashamed, but, thy servant, shall rejoice; |
|
|
| 29 Mine accusers shall be clothed with confusion, and shall wrap about them, like a cloak, their own shame. |
|
|
| 30 I will thank Yahweh loudly with my mouth, Yea, in the midst of multitudes, will I praise him; |
|
|
| 31 Because he standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save, from them who would pass sentence on his life. |
