God of my praise, don't
remain
silent ,
For
the
choirmaster.
A
Psalm
of
David.
O
God of my praise, be
not
silent .
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
.
For wicked and deceitful
mouths
open
against me ;
they speak
against
me with lying tongues
.
They have
also
surrounded
me with words of
hatred,
And fought
against
me without a
cause.
They surround
me with hateful
words and attack
me without cause.
In return for my love ,
they are
my
adversaries;
But I am in
prayer.
In return for my love they accuse
me,
but I am a
man
of
prayer.
They have
rewarded
me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
They repay
me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Set a wicked man over
him.
Let an adversary
stand at his right hand.
Set over
him
a wicked man ;
let an accuser
stand at his right hand.
When he is judged
, let him come
forth
guilty .
Let
his prayer be turned
into
sin.
When he is tried
, let him be
found
guilty ,
and
may
his prayer be regarded
as
sin.
Let
his days be few .
Let
another take his office
.
May
his days be few ;
may
another take his position
.
Let
his children be fatherless ,
And his wife a widow.
May
his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
Let
his children be
wandering
beggars .
Let
them
be
sought
from their ruins
.
May
his children wander
as
beggars ,
seeking
sustenance
far
from their ruined
homes
.
Let
the creditor seize all that
he has.
Let
strangers plunder the fruit
of his labor.
May
the creditor seize all he owns,
and
strangers plunder the fruits
of his labor.
Let
there be none
to extend kindness to him, Neither
let
there
be
any
to have
pity
on
his fatherless children.
May
there be no
one
to extend kindness to him, and
no
one
to favor
his fatherless children.
Let
his posterity
be cut off .
In
the
generation
following
let
their name be blotted out.
May
his descendants
be cut off ;
may
their name be blotted out from
the
next
generation
.
Let
the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by
Yahweh.
Don't
let
the sin of his mother be blotted out.
May
the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before
the LORD,
and
the
sin of his mother never
be blotted out.
Let
them
be
before Yahweh
continually
, That he may cut off the
memory of
them
from the earth ;
May
their
sins
always
remain
before the
LORD
, that He may cut off their
memory from the earth .
Because
he didn't
remember
to show kindness, But persecuted
the poor and needy man,
The
broken
in
heart
, to kill
them
.
For
he never
thought
to show kindness, but pursued
the poor and needy and
brokenhearted
, even
to their
death
.
Yes,
he loved cursing
, and
it came
to
him .
He didn't
delight in
blessing
, and
it was
far from him.
The
cursing
that
he loved, may
it fall
on
him ;
the
blessing
in
which
he refused
to
delight, may
it be
far from him.
He
clothed
himself
also
with
cursing as
with
his
garment.
It came
into his inward
parts
like water, Like
oil
into his bones.
The
cursing that
he
wore
like
a
coat,
may
it soak
into his body
like water, and
into his bones like
oil
.
Let
it be to
him as
the
clothing
with
which
he
covers
himself
, For
the
belt that
is
always
around him.
May
it be like
a
robe
wrapped
about
him, like
a
belt tied
forever
around him.
This is
the reward of
my adversaries
from
Yahweh
, Of
those who speak evil against my
soul
.
May
this be
the LORD’s
reward to
my accusers
, to
those who speak evil against me
.
But deal
with
me
, Yahweh
the Lord, for your
name's
sake ,
Because
your loving
kindness
is
good,
deliver me ;
But You
, O
GOD,
the Lord, deal
kindly
with
me
for the
sake of
Your name;
deliver me by
the
goodness
of
Your
loving
devotion.
For I am poor and needy .
My heart is wounded within me.
For I am poor and needy ;
my heart is wounded within me.
I fade
away like an
evening
shadow .
I am shaken off like a locust.
I am
fading
away like a
lengthening
shadow ;
I am shaken off like a locust.
My knees are weak through
fasting .
My body is
thin
and lacks
fat
.
My knees are weak from
fasting ,
and
my body grows
lean
and gaunt
.
I have
also
become
a
reproach
to them.
When they see me, they shake their head
.
I am
an
object
of
scorn
to my
accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads
.
Help me, Yahweh,
my God .
Save me according to your loving kindness;
Help me, O
LORD
my God ;
save me according to Your loving devotion.
That
they
may
know that this is your hand ;
That you, Yahweh
, have done it.
Let
them
know that this is Your hand ,
that You, O
LORD
, have done it.
They may
curse, but
you bless. When they arise
, they will be shamed
, But your servant shall
rejoice.
Though
they curse, You will
bless. When they rise
up
, they will be put
to
shame
, but Your servant will
rejoice.
Let
my adversaries
be clothed with dishonor.
Let
them
cover
themselves
with
their own
shame as
with
a robe.
May
my accusers
be clothed with disgrace;
may
they
wear
their shame like
a robe.
I
will
give
great
thanks
to
Yahweh
with my mouth .
Yes,
I will praise him among
the multitude
.
With my mouth I will thank
the
LORD
profusely;
I
will
praise Him in
the presence
of
many
.
For he will
stand
at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those
who
judge
his soul.
For He stands
at the right hand of the needy one
, to save him from the
condemners
of
his soul.
