KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Hold
not
thy
peace,
O God of my praise ;
To
the
Overseer.
--
A
Psalm
of
David.
O God of my praise ,
be
not
silent,
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 .
For the mouth of wickedness,
and the mouth of deceit,
Against me they have opened,
They
have
spoken with me
--
A tongue of
falsehood,
and
words
of
hatred!
They compassed me about also
with
words
of
hatred;
and fought
against
me without a
cause.
They have
compassed me about ,
And they
fight
me without cause.
For my love they are
my
adversaries:
but
I give
myself
unto
prayer .
For my love they oppose
me,
and
I --
prayer !
And they have
rewarded
me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
And they set
against
me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
Set
thou a
wicked
man
over him :
and let
Satan
stand
at his right hand.
Appoint
Thou over him the
wicked,
And an
adversary
standeth
at his right hand.
When
he
shall
be
judged, let
him
be
condemned:
and let
his prayer become
sin.
In
his
being
judged, he
goeth
forth
wicked,
And his prayer is
for
sin.
Let
his days be
few ;
and
let
another
take
his office.
His days are
few ,
his oversight
another
taketh,
Let
his children
be
fatherless, and his wife a widow.
His sons
are
fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let
his
children
be
continually vagabonds
, and beg:
let
them
seek
their
bread
also
out of their desolate
places.
And
wander
continually do
his
sons
, Yea,
they
have
begged,
And have
sought
out of their dry
places.
Let
the
extortioner
catch
all that he hath ;
and let
the
strangers spoil his labour.
An
exactor
layeth
a
snare
for
all that he hath ,
And strangers spoil his labour.
Let
there
be
none to extend mercy
unto
him:
neither
let
there be
any
to
favour his fatherless
children
.
He
hath
none to extend kindness,
Nor
is
there one
showing
favour to
his orphans
.
Let
his posterity be
cut
off ;
and
in the
generation following
let
their name be
blotted out.
His posterity is
for
cutting
off ,
In another
generation is
their name blotted out.
Let
the iniquity of his fathers be
remembered with
the
LORD;
and let
not
the sin of his mother be
blotted out.
The iniquity of his fathers Is
remembered unto
Jehovah,
And the sin of his mother is
not
blotted out.
Let
them
be
before the
LORD
continually, that
he may
cut
off the
memory
of
them
from the
earth.
They
are
before Jehovah
continually, And
He cutteth
off from earth their
memorial
.
Because that he remembered
not to shew
mercy
, but
persecuted
the poor and needy man
, that
he
might
even
slay
the broken
in
heart .
Because that he hath
not remembered
to do
kindness
, And
pursueth
the poor man
and needy, And
the smitten
of
heart --
to
slay,
As
he loved
cursing
, so
let
it come
unto
him :
as
he delighted
not in blessing, so
let
it be
far from him.
And
he loveth
reviling
, and
it meeteth
him ,
And
he hath
not delighted
in blessing, And
it is
far from him.
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.
And
he putteth
on
reviling
as his robe
, And
it cometh
in
as
water
into his midst
, And as
oil into his bones.
Let
it be
unto
him as the
garment
which
covereth him
, and for a girdle wherewith
he is
girded
continually
.
It is
to
him as apparel
--
he
covereth himself
, And for a continual
girdle he girdeth
it
on
.
Let
this be
the reward
of mine adversaries
from the
LORD
, and of them
that
speak
evil against my soul.
This `is'
the wage
of mine accusers
from Jehovah
, And of those
speaking
evil against my soul.
But
do
thou for
me
, O GOD
the
Lord, for thy name's sake :
because thy mercy
is good, deliver thou
me.
And
Thou, O Jehovah
Lord, Deal
with
me
for Thy name's sake ,
Because Thy kindness
`
is '
good, deliver me.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is
wounded
within
me
.
For I `
am '
poor and needy, And my heart hath
been
pierced
in
my
midst
.
I
am
gone
like
the
shadow when it declineth:
I am
tossed
up
and
down
as the
locust.
As
a
shadow when it is
stretched
out
I have
gone,
I
have
been
driven
away
as a
locust.
My knees are
weak
through
fasting ;
and my flesh faileth
of fatness.
My knees have
been
feeble
from
fasting ,
And my flesh hath
failed
of fatness.
I became
also
a reproach unto
them :
when
they looked
upon
me they shaked
their heads
.
And
I --
I
have
been
a reproach to
them ,
They see
me ,
they shake
their head
.
Help me, O LORD
my God :
O
save me according to thy mercy:
Help me, O Jehovah
my God ,
Save me ,
according to Thy kindness.
That
they may
know that this is thy hand ;
that
thou, LORD
, hast done it.
And
they know that this `
is '
Thy hand ,
Thou, O
Jehovah
, Thou
hast done it.
Let
them
curse
, but
bless
thou :
when
they arise
, let
them
be
ashamed ;
but
let
thy servant rejoice.
They
revile
, and
Thou dost
bless,
They have
risen
, and
are
ashamed ,
And
Thy servant doth
rejoice.
Let
mine adversaries
be
clothed
with
shame
, and let
them
cover
themselves
with
their
own
confusion
, as with
a
mantle
.
Mine accusers
put
on
blushing
, and are
covered
, As an
upper
robe
`is'
their
shame
.
I will
greatly praise
the
LORD
with my mouth ;
yea
, I will
praise him among
the
multitude.
I thank
Jehovah
greatly with my mouth, And
in
the
midst
of
many
I praise Him ,
For he shall
stand
at the right hand of the poor
, to save him
from those that
condemn
his soul.
For He standeth
at the right hand of the needy
, To save from those judging
his soul.
