Psalms 109
Book: Psalms
A PRAYER FOR HELP AGAINST ENEMIES
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.
12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
16 Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.
17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 He 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 the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.
