1 OGod of my praise, be not silent:
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;
2 For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against 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.
3 And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight 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.
4 For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.
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.
5 And 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.
6 Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;
6He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of many.
6Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;
7He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 Let his days be few, let another take his office;
