Psalm 109 :: New English Translation (NET)

Vengeance Invoked upon Adversaries.

Psa 109:1

Psa 109:1O God whom I praise, do not ignore me!

Psa 109:2

Psa 109:2For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me.

Psa 109:3

Psa 109:3They surround me and say hateful things; they attack me for no reason.

Psa 109:4

Psa 109:4They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.

Psa 109:5

Psa 109:5They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.

Psa 109:6

Psa 109:6Appoint an evil man to testify against him! May an accuser stand at his right side!

Psa 109:7

Psa 109:7When he is judged, he will be found guilty! Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.

Psa 109:8

Psa 109:8May his days be few! May another take his job!

Psa 109:9

Psa 109:9May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow!

Psa 109:10

Psa 109:10May his children roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!

Psa 109:11

Psa 109:11May the creditor seize all he owns! May strangers loot his property!

Psa 109:12

Psa 109:12May no one show him kindness! May no one have compassion on his fatherless children!

Psa 109:13

Psa 109:13May his descendants be cut off! May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives!

Psa 109:14

Psa 109:14May his ancestors' sins be remembered by the LORD! May his mother's sin not be forgotten!

Psa 109:15

Psa 109:15May the LORD be constantly aware of them, and cut off the memory of his children from the earth!

Psa 109:16

Psa 109:16For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.

Psa 109:17

Psa 109:17He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

Psa 109:18

Psa 109:18He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil.

Psa 109:19

Psa 109:19May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!

Psa 109:20

Psa 109:20May the LORD repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about me!

Psa 109:21

Psa 109:21O sovereign LORD, intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation! Because your loyal love is good, deliver me!

Psa 109:22

Psa 109:22For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me.

Psa 109:23

Psa 109:23I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust.

Psa 109:24

Psa 109:24I am so starved my knees shake; I have turned into skin and bones.

Psa 109:25

Psa 109:25I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.

Psa 109:26

Psa 109:26Help me, O LORD my God! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!

Psa 109:27

Psa 109:27Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, LORD, have accomplished it.

Psa 109:28

Psa 109:28They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.

Psa 109:29

Psa 109:29My accusers will be covered with shame, and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.

Psa 109:30

Psa 109:30I will thank the LORD profusely, in the middle of a crowd I will praise him,

Psa 109:31

Psa 109:31because he stands at the right hand of the needy, to deliver him from those who threaten his life.
