KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
1 To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise.
2 For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth of the deceitfull are opened against mee: they haue spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed mee about also with wordes of hatred: and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my loue, they are my aduersaries: but I giue my selfe vnto prayer.
5 And they haue rewarded me euill for good: and hatred for my loue.
6 Set thou a wicked man ouer him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be iudged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sinne.
8 Let his dayes be few: and let another take his office.
9 Let his children bee fatherlesse: and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children bee continually vagabonds, & begge: let them seeke their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath: and let the strangers spoile his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy vnto him: neither let there be any to fauour his fatherlesse children.
13 Let his posteritie be cut off: and in the generation folowing let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquitie of his fathers be remembred with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually: that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembred not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poore and needy man: that he might euen slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loued cursing, so let it come vnto him: as hee delighted not in blessing, so let it be farre from him.
18 As he clothed himselfe with cursing like as with his garment: so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
19 Let it be vnto him as the garment which couereth him: and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine aduersaries from the Lord: and of them that speake euill against my soule.
21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy Names sake: because thy mercie is good: deliuer thou me.
22 For I am poore and needie: and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow, when it declineth: I am tossed vp and downe as the locust.
24 My knees are weake through fasting: and my flesh faileth of fatnesse.
25 I became also a reproch vnto them: when they looked vpon me, they shaked their heads.
26 Helpe me, O Lord my God: O saue me according to thy mercie.
27 That they may know, that this is thy hand: that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but blesse thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed, but let thy seruant reioyce.
29 Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame: and let them couer them selues with their owne confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth: yea I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shal stand at the right hand of the poore: to saue him from those that condemne his soule.
