Psalm 109 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 109:1

Psa 109:1(LXX 108:1) For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;

Psa 109:2

Psa 109:2(LXX 108:2) for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty man have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

Psa 109:3

Psa 109:3(LXX 108:3) And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

Psa 109:4

Psa 109:4(LXX 108:4) [fn]Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.

Psa 109:5

Psa 109:5(LXX 108:5) And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

Psa 109:6

Psa 109:6(LXX 108:6) Set thou a sinner against him; and let [fn]the devil stand at his right hand.

Psa 109:7

Psa 109:7(LXX 108:7) When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Psa 109:8

Psa 109:8(LXX 108:8) Let his days be few: and [fn] let another take his office of overseer.

Psa 109:9

Psa 109:9(LXX 108:9) Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.

Psa 109:10

Psa 109:10(LXX 108:10) Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.

Psa 109:11

Psa 109:11(LXX 108:11) Let his creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours.

Psa 109:12

Psa 109:12(LXX 108:12) Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.

Psa 109:13

Psa 109:13(LXX 108:13) Let his children be given up to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.

Psa 109:14

Psa 109:14(LXX 108:14) Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Psa 109:15

Psa 109:15(LXX 108:15) Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.

Psa 109:16

Psa 109:16(LXX 108:16) Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and that to slay him that was pricked in the heart.

Psa 109:17

Psa 109:17(LXX 108:17) He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.

Psa 109:18

Psa 109:18(LXX 108:18) Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.

Psa 109:19

Psa 109:19(LXX 108:19) Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.

Psa 109:20

Psa 109:20(LXX 108:20) This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

Psa 109:21

Psa 109:21(LXX 108:21) But thou, O Lord, Lord, deal mercifully with me, for thy name's sake: for thy mercy is good.

Psa 109:22

Psa 109:22(LXX 108:22) Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.

Psa 109:23

Psa 109:23(LXX 108:23) I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.

Psa 109:24

Psa 109:24(LXX 108:24) My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of the want of oil.

Psa 109:25

Psa 109:25(LXX 108:25) I became also a reproach to them: when they saw me they shook their heads.

Psa 109:26

Psa 109:26(LXX 108:26) Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to thy mercy.

Psa 109:27

Psa 109:27(LXX 108:27) And let them know that this is thy hand; and that thou, Lord, hast wrought it.

Psa 109:28

Psa 109:28(LXX 108:28) Let them curse, but thou shalt bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let thy servant rejoice.

Psa 109:29

Psa 109:29(LXX 108:29) Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

Psa 109:30

Psa 109:30(LXX 108:30) I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.

Psa 109:31

Psa 109:31(LXX 108:31) For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save me from them that persecute my soul.
