From the Choirmaster’s collection. A song of David.
109 God of my praise, be not thou silent;
2 for wicked men are loud against me,
falsely charging me;
3 they beset me with their words of malice,
they attack me wantonly;
4 they return enmity for love,
even as I pray for them,
5 rewarding me with cruelty for my kindness,
and hatred for my love.
6 Arrest yon evil knave,
let some accuser face him;
7 let him be tried and sentence,
let his prayer pass for a sin!
8 Few days be his!
May another seize his office!
9 May his children become fatherless,
his wife a widow!
10 May they be vagabonds and beggars,
driven out of their ruined home!
11 May creditors seize all he has,
and strangers help themselves to all he made!
12 May not a soul be kind to him,
may no one pity his fatherless children!
13 May his posterity be rooted out,
and his name blotted out in a single generation!
14 But never may his father’s evil be forgotten,
or his mother's sin be blotted out!
15 (The Eternal ever keep them in his mind,
to root them from the earth!)
16 Never did he remember to be kind;
but wretched, weak, and broken-hearted creatures
he persecuted to the death.
17 He would not bless? – blessings be far from him!
He loved to curse? – may curses light on him!
18 May curses cling to him like clothes!
Curses soak into him like water,
sink to his very bones like oil!
19 May curses be the garment he puts on!
curses be like his girdle day by day!
20 So may the Eternal reward my accusers,
and all who threaten my life!
21 O Lord the Eternal, act on my behalf,
oh rescue me in thy kind love;
22 for I am weak and wretched,
my heart is in anguish,
23 my days are brief as any evening shadow,
I am whirled off like a locust,
24 my knees are giving way with fasting,
my flesh is thin and shrivelled;
25 they are taunting, taunting me,
tossing their heads at the sight of me!
26 Eternal One, my God, oh help me,
save me in thy love–
27 to let them know thy power by this,
what thou canst do, Eternal One!
28 They may curse, but do thou bless;
confounded by my foes, but let thy servant joy.
29 May my opponents be covered with disgrace,
robed in their own dishonour!
30 I will give thanks aloud to the Eternal;
yes, I will praise him in the congregation,
31 for he supports a helpless man,
to save him from his persecutors
