      | ¶ | [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; | |
 | 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 compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. | ||
| For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto] prayer. | ||
| And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. | ||
| Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. | ||
| When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. | ||
| Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office. | ||
| Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. | ||
| Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places. | ||
| Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. | ||
| Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. | ||
| Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out. | ||
| Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. | ||
| Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. | ||
| Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. | ||
| As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. | ||
| [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. | ||
| 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 is wounded within me. | ||
 | I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. | ||
| My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. | ||
| I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads. | ||
| Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: | ||
| That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it. | ||
| Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. | ||
| Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. | ||
 | I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. | ||
| For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul. |
