CHAP. CIX.

1 Dauid complayning of his slanderous enemies, vnder the person of Iudas deuoteth them. 16 He sheweth their sinne. 21 Complayning of his owne misery, hee prayeth for helpe. 29 He promiseth thankfulnesse.

¹[To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid.] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise.

²For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth of the deceitfull are opened against mee: they haue spoken against me with a lying tongue.²

³They compassed mee about also with wordes of hatred: and fought against me without a cause.

⁴For my loue, they are my aduersaries: but I giue my selfe vnto prayer.

⁵And they haue rewarded me euill for good: and hatred for my loue.

⁶Set thou a wicked man ouer him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.⁶

⁷When he shall be iudged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sinne.⁷

⁸Let his dayes be few: and let another take his office.⁸

⁹Let his children bee fatherlesse: and his wife a widow.

¹⁰Let his children bee continually vagabonds, & begge: let them seeke their bread also out of their desolate places.

¹¹Let the extortioner catch all that he hath: and let the strangers spoile his labour.

¹²Let there be none to extend mercy vnto him: neither let there be any to fauour his fatherlesse children.

¹³Let his posteritie be cut off: and in the generation folowing let their name be blotted out.

¹⁴Let the iniquitie of his fathers be remembred with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁵Let them be before the Lord continually: that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁶Because that he remembred not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poore and needy man: that he might euen slay the broken in heart.

¹⁷As he loued cursing, so let it come vnto him: as hee delighted not in blessing, so let it be farre from him.

¹⁸As he clothed himselfe with cursing like as with his garment: so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.¹⁸

¹⁹Let it be vnto him as the garment which couereth him: and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

²⁰Let this be the reward of mine aduersaries from the Lord: and of them that speake euill against my soule.

²¹But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy Names sake: because thy mercie is good: deliuer thou me.

²²For I am poore and needie: and my heart is wounded within me.

²³I am gone like the shadow, when it declineth: I am tossed vp and downe as the locust.

²⁴My knees are weake through fasting: and my flesh faileth of fatnesse.

²⁵I became also a reproch vnto them: when they looked vpon me, they shaked their heads.

²⁶Helpe me, O Lord my God: O saue me according to thy mercie.

²⁷That they may know, that this is thy hand: that thou, Lord, hast done it.

²⁸Let them curse, but blesse thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed, but let thy seruant reioyce.

²⁹Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame: and let them couer them selues with their owne confusion, as with a mantle.

³⁰I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth: yea I will praise him among the multitude.

³¹For he shal stand at the right hand of the poore: to saue him from those that condemne his soule.³¹
