Psalms Chapter 109 (KJV)
undefined
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
undefined
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.
undefined
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
undefined
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
undefined
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
undefined
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
undefined
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
undefined
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
undefined
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
undefined
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
undefined
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
undefined
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
undefined
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
undefined
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
undefined
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
undefined
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
undefined
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
undefined
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.
undefined
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
undefined
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
undefined
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
undefined
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
undefined
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
undefined
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
undefined
I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
undefined
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
undefined
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
undefined
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
undefined
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
undefined
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
undefined
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
