1 OGod of my praise, be not silent:
1To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
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,
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!
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.
3They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
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.
4For my love they oppose me, and I--prayer!
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.
5And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
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;
6Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
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;
7In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
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;
8His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
8Let his days be few; Andlet another take his office.
9 Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;
9His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
9Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.
10 Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;
10And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
10Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.
11 Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;
11An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;
12He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
12Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
13His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
13Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;
14The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:
15They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
15Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
16 Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.
16Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart--to slay,
16Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.
17 And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.
17And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
17Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;
18And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
18He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.
19It is to him as apparel--he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
19Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
20This <FI>is<Fi> the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
20This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:
21And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> good, deliver me.
21But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name’s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
22 For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
22For I <FI>am<Fi> poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
22For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;
23As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;
24My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
24My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.
25And I--I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
25I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Help me, Jehovah myGod; save me according to thy loving-kindness:
26Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
26Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
27And they know that this <FI>is<Fi> Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.
27That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.
28They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
28Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
29Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe <FI>is<Fi> their shame.
29Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
