1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
1A psalm for David. The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
1Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
2The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
3They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
3With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
3They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
4For my love they are my adversaries: But Igive myself untoprayer.
4The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
4For my love they are my adversaries: But Igive myself untoprayer.
5And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
5The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
5And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
