Chapter 109
Psal Noyes 109:2  For the mouths of the wicked and the deceitful are opened against me; They speak against me with a lying tongue.
Psal Noyes 109:3  They assault me on every side with words of hatred; They fight against me without a cause.
Psal Noyes 109:4  For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer.
Psal Noyes 109:5  They repay me evil for good, And hatred for love.
Psal Noyes 109:6  Set thou a wicked man over him, And let an adversary stand at his right hand!
Psal Noyes 109:7  When he is judged, may he be condemned, And may his prayer be a crime!
Psal Noyes 109:8  May his days be few, And another take his office!
Psal Noyes 109:9  May his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow!
Psal Noyes 109:10  May his children be vagabonds and beggars, And from their ruined dwellings seek their bread!
Psal Noyes 109:11  May a creditor seize on all that he hath, And a stranger plunder his substance!
Psal Noyes 109:12  May there be none to show him compassion, And none to pity his fatherless children!
Psal Noyes 109:13  May his posterity be cut off; In the next generation may his name be blotted out!
Psal Noyes 109:14  May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD, And may the sin of his mother never be blotted out!
Psal Noyes 109:15  May they be before the LORD continually; And may he cut off their memory from the earth!
Psal Noyes 109:16  Because he remembered not to show pity, But persecuted the afflicted and the poor man, And sought the death of the broken-hearted.
Psal Noyes 109:17  As he loved cursing, let it come upon him; As he delighted not in blessing, let it be far from him!
Psal Noyes 109:18  May he be clothed with cursing as with a garment; May it enter like water into his bowels, And like oil into his bones!
Psal Noyes 109:19  May it be to him like the robe that covereth him, Like the girdle with which he is constantly girded!
Psal Noyes 109:20  May this be the wages of mine adversaries from the LORD, And of them that speak evil against me!
Psal Noyes 109:21  But do thou, O LORD, my God! take part with me, For thine own name’s sake! Because great is thy mercy, O deliver me!
Psal Noyes 109:22  For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
Psal Noyes 109:23  I am going like a shadow; I am driven away as the locust.
Psal Noyes 109:24  My knees totter from fasting, And my flesh faileth of fatness.
Psal Noyes 109:25  I am a reproach to my enemies; They gaze at me; they shake their heads.
Psal Noyes 109:26  Help me, O LORD, my God! O save me, according to thy mercy!
Psal Noyes 109:27  That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, O Lord! hast done it!
Psal Noyes 109:28  Let them curse, but do thou bless! When they arise, let them be put to shame; But let thy servant rejoice!
Psal Noyes 109:29  May my enemies be clothed with ignominy; May they be covered with their shame, as with a mantle!
Psal Noyes 109:30  I will earnestly praise the LORD with my lips; In the midst of the multitude I will praise him.
Psal Noyes 109:31  For he standeth at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who would condemn him.
