O God, Do Not Be Silent

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:1 -

For the choir director. Of David. A Psalm.

O God of my praise,

Do not be silent!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:2 -

For they have opened a wicked mouth and a deceitful mouth against me;

They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:3 -

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,

And fought against me without cause.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:4 -

In return for my love they accuse me;

But I am in prayer.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:5 -

Thus they have set upon me evil for good

And hatred for my love.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:6 -

Appoint a wicked man over him,

And let an [fn]accuser stand at his right hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:7 -

When he is judged, let him come forth a wicked man,

And let his prayer become sin.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:8 -

Let his days be few;

Let another take his office.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:9 -

Let his sons be orphans

And his wife a widow.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:10 -

Let his sons wander aimlessly and beg;

And let them search for food [fn]from their ruined homes.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:11 -

Let the creditor [fn]seize all that he has,

And let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:12 -

Let there be none to [fn]extend lovingkindness to him,

And let there be none to be gracious to his orphans.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:13 -

Let those who follow him be [fn]cut off;

In a following generation let their name be blotted out.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:14 -

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered [fn]before Yahweh,

And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:15 -

Let them be before Yahweh continually,

That He may cut off their memory from the earth;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:16 -

Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,

But persecuted the afflicted, the needy man,

And the disheartened to put them to death.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:17 -

He also loved cursing, so it came to him;

And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:18 -

But he clothed himself with cursing as his garment,

And it came into his inward parts like water

And like oil into his bones.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:19 -

Let it be to him as a garment with which he wraps himself,

And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:20 -

This is the reward of my accusers from Yahweh,

And of those who speak evil against my soul.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:21 -

But as for You, O Yahweh, O Lord, deal with me for Your name’s sake;

Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:22 -

For I am afflicted and needy,

And [fn]my heart is pierced within me.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:23 -

I am passing like a shadow when it is stretched out;

I am shaken off like the locust.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:24 -

My knees are feeble from fasting,

And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:25 -

As for me, I have become a reproach to them;

They see me, they wag their head.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:26 -

Help me, O Yahweh my God;

Save me according to Your lovingkindness.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:27 -

[fn]And let them know that this is Your hand;

You, O Yahweh, have done it.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:28 -

Let them curse, but You bless;

They arise and will be put to shame,

But Your slave shall be glad.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:29 -

[fn]Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor,

And [fn]let them wrap themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:30 -

With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to Yahweh;

And in the midst of many I will praise Him.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:31 -

For He stands at the right hand of the needy,

To save him from those who judge his soul.
