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