Psalms 109 (YLT) - Holy Bible

¹To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,

²For 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!

³They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.

⁴For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!

⁵And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

⁶Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

⁷In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.

⁸His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

⁹His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.

¹⁰And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

¹¹An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.

¹²He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.

¹³His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

¹⁴The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.

¹⁵They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

¹⁶Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

¹⁷And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

¹⁸And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

¹⁹It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

²⁰This `is' the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

²¹And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness `is' good, deliver me.

²²For I `am' poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

²³As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.

²⁴My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.

²⁵And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.

²⁶Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.

²⁷And they know that this `is' Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.

²⁸They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

²⁹Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe `is' their shame.

³⁰I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,

³¹For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
