Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 109:1 | To the chief musician, A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, do not be silent; |
| 109:2 | for the mouth of the wicked, and the deceitful mouth, are opened against me; they spoke against me with a lying tongue. |
| 109:3 | And they hemmed me in with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. |
| 109:4 | In return for my love, they are my enemies; but I am in prayer. |
| 109:5 | And they put on me evil for good; and hatred for my love. |
| 109:6 | Set a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand; |
| 109:7 | when he is judged, let him go out wicked; and let his prayer become sin; |
| 109:8 | let his days be few; and let another take his office; |
| 109:9 | his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow; |
| 109:10 | and let his sons always beg and wander, and seek food out of their ruins; |
| 109:11 | let the moneylender lay a snare for all that is his; and let strangers plunder his labor; |
| 109:12 | let there be none giving mercy to him; nor any to have pity on his orphans; |
| 109:13 | let his posterity be cut off; let their name be blotted out in the following generation; |
| 109:14 | let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered to Jehovah; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out; |
| 109:15 | let them be always before Jehovah, so that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth; |
| 109:16 | because he did not remember to do mercy; and persecuted the poor and needy man; even to kill the broken-hearted. |
| 109:17 | Yea, he loved cursing, and it came to him; he also had no pleasure in blessing, and it was far from him. |
| 109:18 | As he clothed himself with cursing, as with a robe, even it came into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. |
| 109:19 | Let it be to him as a garment he wraps in, and for a girdle that he always girds on. |
| 109:20 | This is the reward of my foes from Jehovah, and of those who speak evil against my soul. |
| 109:21 | But You, O Jehovah the Lord, work with me for Your name's sake; deliver me because Your mercy is good. |
| 109:22 | For I am poor and needy, and my heart is pierced within me. |
| 109:23 | As a shadow when it stretches out, I am gone; I am shaken off like the locust. |
| 109:24 | My knees stumble from fasting, and my flesh grows lean from fatness. |
| 109:25 | And I have become a reproach to them; they looked at me; they shook their heads. |
| 109:26 | O Jehovah my God, help me; save me according to Your mercy; |
| 109:27 | and they will know that this is Your hand; that You, O Jehovah, have done it. |
| 109:28 | They will curse, but You will bless; they rise up and are ashamed; but Your servant will be glad. |
| 109:29 | Let those who accuse me be clothed with shame; and cover themselves in their shame as with a robe. |
| 109:30 | I will greatly thank Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him in the midst of the multitude. |
| 109:31 | For He shall stand at the right hand of the needy; to save from those judging his soul. |
