[1]
[2] for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me.
They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
[3] They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
and fought against me without a cause.
[4] In return for my love, they are my adversaries;
but I am in prayer.
[5] They have rewarded me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
[6] Set a wicked man over him.
Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
[7] When he is judged, let him come out guilty.
Let his prayer be turned into sin.
[8] Let his days be few.
Let another take his office.
[9] Let his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
[10] Let his children be wandering beggars.
Let them be sought from their ruins.
[11] Let the creditor seize all that he has.
Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
[12] Let there be no one to extend kindness to him,
neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
[13] Let his posterity be cut off.
In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
[14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.
Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
[15] Let them be before Yahweh continually,
that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
[16] because he didn’t remember to show kindness,
but persecuted the poor and needy man,
the broken in heart, to kill them.
[17] Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.
He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
[18] He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.
It came into his inward parts like water,
like oil into his bones.
[19] Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,
for the belt that is always around him.
[20] This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh,
of those who speak evil against my soul. [21] But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord,§ for your name’s sake,
because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
[22] for I am poor and needy.
My heart is wounded within me.
[23] I fade away like an evening shadow.
I am shaken off like a locust.
[24] My knees are weak through fasting.
My body is thin and lacks fat.
[25] I have also become a reproach to them.
When they see me, they shake their head.
[26] Help me, Yahweh, my God.
Save me according to your loving kindness;
[27] that they may know that this is your hand;
that you, Yahweh, have done it.
[28] They may curse, but you bless.
When they arise, they will be shamed,
but your servant shall rejoice.
[29] Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.
Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
[30] I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth.
Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
[31] For he will stand at the right hand of the needy,
to save him from those who judge his soul.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
God of my praise, don’t remain silent,[2] for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me.
They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
[3] They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
and fought against me without a cause.
[4] In return for my love, they are my adversaries;
but I am in prayer.
[5] They have rewarded me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
[6] Set a wicked man over him.
Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

To the chief Musician,H5329(PielPtc) A PsalmH4210 of David.H1732
Hold not thy peace,H2790(QalImpf) O GodH430 of my praise;H8416 [2] For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 are openedH6605(QalPerf) against me: they have spokenH1696(PielPerf) against me with a lyingH8267 tongue.H3956 [3] They compassedH5437(QalPerf) me about also with wordsH1697 of hatred;H8135 and foughtH3898(NiphImpf) against me without a cause.H2600 [4] For my loveH160 they are my adversaries:H7853(QalImpf) but I [give myself unto] prayer.H8605 [5] And they have rewardedH7760(QalImpf) me evilH7451 for good,H2896 and hatredH8135 for my love.H160 [6] SetH6485(HiphImpv) thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975(QalImpf) at his right hand.H3225 [7] When he shall be judged,H8199(NiphInf) let him beH3318(QalImpf) condemned:H7563 and let his prayerH8605 become sin.H2401 [8] Let his daysH3117 be few;H4592 [and] let anotherH312 takeH3947(QalImpf) his office.H6486 [9] Let his childrenH1121 be fatherless,H3490 and his wifeH802 a widow.H490 [10] Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128(QalInf) vagabonds,H5128(QalImpf) and beg:H7592(PielPerf) let them seekH1875(QalPerf) [their bread] also out of their desolate places.H2723 [11] Let the extortionerH5383(QalActPtc) catchH5367(PielImpf) all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114(QalPtc) spoilH962(QalImpf) his labour.H3018 [12] Let there be none to extendH4900(QalActPtc) mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603(QalActPtc) his fatherless children.H3490 [13] Let his posterityH319 be cut off;H3772(HiphInf) [and] in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted out.H4229(NiphImpf) [14] Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142(NiphImpf) with the Lord;H3068 and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted out.H4229(NiphImpf) [15] Let them be before the LordH3068 continually,H8548 that he may cut offH3772(HiphImpf) the memoryH2143 of them from the earth.H776 [16] Because that he rememberedH2142(QalPerf) not to shewH6213(QalInf) mercy,H2617 but persecutedH7291(QalImpf) the poorH6041 and needyH34 man,H376 that he might even slayH4191(PoleInf) the brokenH3512(NiphPtc) in heart.H3824 [17] As he lovedH157(QalImpf) cursing,H7045 so let it comeH935(QalImpf) unto him: as he delightedH2654(QalPerf) not in blessing,H1293 so let it be farH7368(QalImpf) from him. [18] As he clothedH3847(QalImpf) himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garment,H4055 so let it comeH935(QalImpf) into his bowelsH7130 like water,H4325 and like oilH8081 into his bones.H6106 [19] Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 [which] coverethH5844(QalImpf) him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296(QalImpf) continually.H8548 [20] [Let] this [be] the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853(QalActPtc) from the Lord,H3068 and of them that speakH1696(QalActPtc) evilH7451 against my soul.H5315 [21] But doH6213(QalImpv) thou for me, O GodH3069 the Lord,H136 for thy name’sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 [is] good,H2896 deliverH5337(HiphImpv) thou me. [22] For I [am] poorH6041 and needy,H34 and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490(QalPerf) withinH7130 me. [23] I am goneH1980(NiphPerf) like the shadowH6738 when it declineth:H5186(QalInf) I am tossed up and downH5287(NiphPerf) as the locust.H697 [24] My kneesH1290 are weakH3782(QalPerf) through fasting;H6685 and my fleshH1320 failethH3584(QalPerf) of fatness.H8081 [25] I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: [when] they lookedH7200(QalImpf) upon me they shakedH5128(HiphImpf) their heads.H7218 [26] HelpH5826(QalImpv) me, O LordH3068 my God:H430 O saveH3467(HiphImpv) me according to thy mercy:H2617 [27] That they may knowH3045(QalImpf) that this [is] thy hand;H3027 [that] thou, Lord,H3068 hast doneH6213(QalPerf) it. [28] Let them curse,H7043(PielImpf) but blessH1288(PielImpf) thou: when they arise,H6965(QalPerf) let them be ashamed;H954(QalImpf) but let thy servantH5650 rejoice.H8055(QalImpf) [29] Let mine adversariesH7853(QalActPtc) be clothedH3847(QalImpf) with shame,H3639 and let them coverH5844(QalImpf) themselves with their own confusion,H1322 as with a mantle.H4598 [30] I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034(HiphImpf) the LordH3068 with my mouth;H6310 yea, I will praiseH1984(PielImpf) him amongH8432 the multitude.H7227 [31] For he shall standH5975(QalImpf) at the right handH3225 of the poor,H34 to saveH3467(HiphInf) [him] from those that condemnH8199(QalActPtc) his soul.H5315Byzantine Greek New Testament
