1091Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;+2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.+3They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.+4For my love they are my adversaries: But I [give myself unto] prayer.+5And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.+6Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.+7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.+8Let his days be few; [And] let another take his office.+9Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.+10Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek [their bread] out of their desolate places.+11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor.+12Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.+13Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.+14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.+15Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;+16Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay [them].+17Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.+18He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.+19Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.+20This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.+21But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name’s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;+22For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.+23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.+24My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.+25I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.+26Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:+27That they may know that this is thy hand; [That] thou, Jehovah, hast done it.+28Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.+29Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.+30I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.+31For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.+
