109 For _the_choir _director of_Dāvid a _psalm[fn] Oh _god praise_my do _not be _silent.
2 If/because [the]_mouth of _[the]_wicked and_mouths of _deceit against_me they _have _opened they _have _spoken against_me a _tongue of _falsehood.
3 And_words of _hatred surround_me and_attack_me without _cause.
4 In _place _of love_my accuse_me and_I [am]_prayer.
5 And_repay against_me evil in _place _of good and_hatred in _place _of love_my.
6 Appoint on/upon/above_him/it a _wicked _[person] and_accuser let _him _stand on right _hand_his.
7 In/on/at/with_judged_he let _him _come _forth guilty and_prayer_his let _it _become as_sin.
8 May _they _be his/its_days few office_his may _he _take another.
9 May _they _be children_his fatherless _ones and_his/its_woman/wife a _widow.
10 And_to _wander may _they _wander children_his and_beg and_searching from_ruined _homes_their.
11 May _he _strike a _creditor to/from_all/each/any/every that to_him/it and_plunder strangers fruits _of _toil_his.
12 Not let _it _belong to_him/it[fn] [one _who]_prolongs loyalty and_no let _it _belong [one _who]_shows _favour to_fatherless _children_his.
13 May _it _be descendants_his to_cut _off in/on/at/with_generation another may _it _be _wiped _out their_name.
14 May _it _be _remembered the _iniquity fathers_his to YHWH and_sin his/its_mother not may _it _be _wiped _out.
15 Let _them _be before YHWH continually and_cut _off from_earth memory_them.
16 Because that not he _remembered to _do loyalty and_pursued anyone poor and_needy and_despondent of _heart to_put _todeath.
17 And_loved a _curse and_come _on_him and_not he _delighted in/on/at/with_blessing and_far from_him.
18 And_wore a _curse as_coat_his and_enter like _the_water in/on/at/with_body_his and_like _the_oil in/on/at/with_bones_his.
19 May _it _be to_him/it[fn] like_garment [which]_he _wraps _himself and_like_belt [which]_continually wears_him.
20 This [be]_the _wage[s] accusers_my from_with YHWH and_the_speak evil on life_my.
21 And_you(ms) Oh_YHWH my_master deal with_me for _the _sake _of your(ms)_name if/because [is]_good love_your deliver_me.
22 If/because [am]_poor and_needy I and_heart_my someone _has _pierced in/on/at/with_within_me.
23 Like_shadow when_lengthening_it I _have _vanished I _have _been _shaken _off like _the_locust.
24 Knees_my they _have _staggered from_fasting and_body_my it _has _become _lean without_fat.
25 And_I I _have _become a _reproach to/for_them see_me shake heads_their.
26 Help_me Oh_YHWH god_my save_me according _to_steadfast _love_your.
27 And_know if/because _that hand_your this you Oh_YHWH done_it.
28 They _will _curse they and_you(ms) you _will _bless they _have _arisen and_put _to _shame and_servant_your he _will _rejoice.
29 May _they _be _clothed accusers_my ignominy and_wrapped as _a_cloak shame_their _own.
30 I _will _give _thanks _to YHWH exceedingly in/on/at/with_mouth_my and_in/on/at/with_midst many _[people] praise_him.
31 If/because he _stands at_right _hand of _[the]_needy to_save from_condemn life_his.
