| [1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Hold not thy peaceH2790[H8799], O GodH430 of my praiseH8416; |
[1]Hold not thy tongue, O God of my praise. |
| [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. |
[2]For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceit are opened upon me: they have spoken to me with a lying tongue. |
| [3]They compassedH5437[H8804] me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135; and foughtH3898[H8735] against me without a causeH2600. |
[3]They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. |
| [4]For my loveH160 they are my adversariesH7853[H8799]: but I give myself unto prayerH8605. |
[4]For my friendship they were mine adversaries, but I gave myself to prayer. |
| [5]And they have rewardedH7760[H8799] me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160. |
[5]And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship. |
| [6]SetH6485[H8685] thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975[H8799] at his right handH3225. |
[6]Set thou the wicked over him, and let the adversary stand at his right hand. |
| [7]When he shall be judgedH8199[H8736], let him beH3318[H8799] condemnedH7563: and let his prayerH8605 become sinH2401. |
[7]When he shall be judged, let him be condemned, and let his prayer be turned into sin. |
| [8]Let his daysH3117 be fewH4592; and let anotherH312 takeH3947[H8799] his officeH6486. |
[8]Let his days be few, and let another take his charge. |
| [9]Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490. |
[9]Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. |
| [10]Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128[H8800] vagabondsH5128[H8799], and begH7592[H8765]: let them seekH1875[H8804] their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723. |
[10]Let his children be vagabonds and beg and seek bread, coming out of their places destroyed. |
| [11]Let the extortionerH5383[H8802] catchH5367[H8762] all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114[H8801] spoilH962[H8799] his labourH3018. |
[11]Let the extortioner catch all that he hath, and let the strangers spoil his labor. |
| [12]Let there be none to extendH4900[H8802] mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603[H8802] his fatherless childrenH3490. |
[12]Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to show mercy upon his fatherless children. |
| [13]Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772[H8687]; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.[H8735] |
[13]Let his posterity be destroyed, and in the generation following let their name be put out. |
| [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] |
[14]Let the iniquity of his fathers be had in remembrance with the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be done away. |
| [15]Let them be before the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772[H8686] the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776. |
[15]But let them alway be before the Lord, that he may cut off their memorial from the earth. |
| [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. |
[16]Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the afflicted and poor man, and the sorrowful hearted to slay him. |
| [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. |
[17]As he loved cursing, so shall it come unto him, and as he loved not blessing, so shall it be far from him. |
| [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. |
[18]As he clothed himself with cursing like a raiment, so shall it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. |
| [19]Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844[H8799] him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296[H8799] continuallyH8548. |
[19]Let it be unto him as a garment to cover him, and for a girdle, wherewith he shall be alway girded. |
| [20]Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853[H8802] from the LORDH3068, and of them that speakH1696[H8802] evilH7451 against my soulH5315. |
[20]Let this be the reward of mine adversary from the Lord, and of them, that speak evil against my soul. |
| [21]But doH6213[H8798] thou for me, O GODH3069 the LordH136, for thy name'sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou meH8685. |
[21]But thou, O Lord my God, deal with me according unto thy name: deliver me, (for thy mercy is good) |
| [22]For I am poorH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490[H8804] within meH7130. |
[22]Because I am poor and needy, and mine heart is wounded within me. |
| [23]I am goneH1980[H8738] like the shadowH6738 when it declinethH5186[H8800]: I am tossed up and downH5287[H8738] as the locustH697. |
[23]I depart like the shadow that declineth, and am shaken off as the grasshopper. |
| [24]My kneesH1290 are weakH3782[H8804] through fastingH6685; and my fleshH1320 failethH3584[H8804] of fatnessH8081. |
[24]My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatness. |
| [25]I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: when they lookedH7200[H8799] upon me they shakedH5128[H8686] their headsH7218. |
[25]I became also a rebuke unto them: they that looked upon me, shaked their heads. |
| [26]HelpH5826[H8798] me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430: O saveH3467[H8685] me according to thy mercyH2617: |
[26]Help me, O Lord my God: save me according to thy mercy. |
| [27]That they may knowH3045[H8799] that this is thy handH3027; that thou, LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 itH8804. |
[27]And they shall know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it. |
| [28]Let them curseH7043[H8762], but blessH1288[H8762] thou: when they ariseH6965[H8804], let them be ashamedH954[H8799]; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.[H8799] |
[28]Though they curse, yet thou wilt bless: they shall arise and be confounded, but thy servant shall rejoice. |
| [29]Let mine adversariesH7853[H8802] be clothedH3847[H8799] with shameH3639, and let them coverH5844[H8799] themselves with their own confusionH1322, as with a mantleH4598. |
[29]Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their confusion, as with a cloak. |
| [30]I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034[H8686] the LORDH3068 with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984[H8762] him amongH8432 the multitudeH7227. |
[30]I will give thanks unto the Lord greatly with my mouth, and praise him among the multitude. |
| [31]For he shall standH5975[H8799] at the right handH3225 of the poorH34, to saveH3467[H8687] him from those that condemnH8199[H8802] his soulH5315. |
[31]For he will stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from them that would condemn his soul. |
