Psalm 109 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 109:1

Psa 109:1To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,

Psa 109:2

Psa 109:2For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!

Psa 109:3

Psa 109:3They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.

Psa 109:4

Psa 109:4For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!

Psa 109:5

Psa 109:5And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

Psa 109:6

Psa 109:6Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

Psa 109:7

Psa 109:7In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.

Psa 109:8

Psa 109:8His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

Psa 109:9

Psa 109:9His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Psa 109:10

Psa 109:10And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

Psa 109:11

Psa 109:11An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.

Psa 109:12

Psa 109:12He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.

Psa 109:13

Psa 109:13His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

Psa 109:14

Psa 109:14The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.

Psa 109:15

Psa 109:15They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

Psa 109:16

Psa 109:16Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

Psa 109:17

Psa 109:17And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

Psa 109:18

Psa 109:18And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

Psa 109:19

Psa 109:19It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

Psa 109:20

Psa 109:20This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

Psa 109:21

Psa 109:21And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.

Psa 109:22

Psa 109:22For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

Psa 109:23

Psa 109:23As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.

Psa 109:24

Psa 109:24My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.

Psa 109:25

Psa 109:25And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.

Psa 109:26

Psa 109:26Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.

Psa 109:27

Psa 109:27And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.

Psa 109:28

Psa 109:28They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

Psa 109:29

Psa 109:29Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.

Psa 109:30

Psa 109:30I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,

Psa 109:31

Psa 109:31For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
