1091Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;+2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.+3They 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 Satan stand at his right hand.+7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become 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 continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek
their bread also out of their desolate places.+11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.+12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.+13Let his posterity be cut off;
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.+14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.+15Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.+16Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.+17As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.+18As 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.+19Let it be unto him as the garment
which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.+20Let this
be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.+21But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy
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 became also a reproach unto them:
when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.+26Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:+27That they may know that this
is thy hand;
that
thou, LORD, hast done it.+28Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.+29Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.+30I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.+31For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save
him
from those that condemn his soul.+
