[1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Hold not thy peaceH2790[H8799], O GodH430 of my praiseH8416;
[2]For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 are openedH6605[H8804] against me: they have spokenH1696[H8765] against me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956.
[3]They compassedH5437[H8804] me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135; and foughtH3898[H8735] against me without a causeH2600.
[4]For my loveH160 they are my adversariesH7853[H8799]: but I give myself unto prayerH8605.
[5]And they have rewardedH7760[H8799] me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160.
[6]SetH6485[H8685] thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975[H8799] at his right handH3225.
[7]When he shall be judgedH8199[H8736], let him beH3318[H8799] condemnedH7563: and let his prayerH8605 become sinH2401.
[8]Let his daysH3117 be fewH4592; and let anotherH312 takeH3947[H8799] his officeH6486.
[9]Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490.
[10]Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128[H8800] vagabondsH5128[H8799], and begH7592[H8765]: let them seekH1875[H8804] their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723.
[11]Let the extortionerH5383[H8802] catchH5367[H8762] all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114[H8801] spoilH962[H8799] his labourH3018.
[12]Let there be none to extendH4900[H8802] mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603[H8802] his fatherless childrenH3490.
[13]Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772[H8687]; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.[H8735]
[14]Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142[H8735] with the LORDH3068; and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted outH4229.[H8735]
[15]Let them be before the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772[H8686] the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.
[16]Because that he rememberedH2142[H8804] not to shewH6213[H8800] mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291[H8799] the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191[H8788] the brokenH3512[H8737] in heartH3824.
[17]As he lovedH157[H8799] cursingH7045, so let it comeH935[H8799] unto him: as he delightedH2654[H8804] not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from himH8799.
[18]As he clothedH3847[H8799] himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935[H8799] into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106.
[19]Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844[H8799] him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296[H8799] continuallyH8548.
[20]Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853[H8802] from the LORDH3068, and of them that speakH1696[H8802] evilH7451 against my soulH5315.
[21]But doH6213[H8798] thou for me, O GODH3069 the LordH136, for thy name'sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou meH8685.
[22]For I am poorH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490[H8804] within meH7130.
[23]I am goneH1980[H8738] like the shadowH6738 when it declinethH5186[H8800]: I am tossed up and downH5287[H8738] as the locustH697.
[24]My kneesH1290 are weakH3782[H8804] through fastingH6685; and my fleshH1320 failethH3584[H8804] of fatnessH8081.
[25]I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: when they lookedH7200[H8799] upon me they shakedH5128[H8686] their headsH7218.
[26]HelpH5826[H8798] me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430: O saveH3467[H8685] me according to thy mercyH2617:
[27]That they may knowH3045[H8799] that this is thy handH3027; that thou, LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 itH8804.
[28]Let them curseH7043[H8762], but blessH1288[H8762] thou: when they ariseH6965[H8804], let them be ashamedH954[H8799]; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.[H8799]
[29]Let mine adversariesH7853[H8802] be clothedH3847[H8799] with shameH3639, and let them coverH5844[H8799] themselves with their own confusionH1322, as with a mantleH4598.
[30]I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034[H8686] the LORDH3068 with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984[H8762] him amongH8432 the multitudeH7227.
[31]For he shall standH5975[H8799] at the right handH3225 of the poorH34, to saveH3467[H8687] him from those that condemnH8199[H8802] his soulH5315.
