Psalms
109-111
Psa
109:1 God of my praise, don't remain silent,
Psa
109:2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of
deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
Psa
109:3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought
against me without a cause.
Psa
109:4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in
prayer.
Psa
109:5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Psa
109:6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right
hand.
Psa
109:7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer
be turned into sin.
Psa
109:8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
Psa
109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psa
109:10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought
from their ruins.
Psa
109:11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder
the fruit of his labor.
Psa
109:12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, neither let
there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
Psa
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let
their name be blotted out.
Psa
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.
Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Psa
109:15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off
the memory of them from the earth;
Psa
109:16 because he didn't remember to show kindness, but persecuted
the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
Psa
109:17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight
in blessing, and it was far from him.
Psa
109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It
came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
Psa
109:19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers
himself, for the belt that is always around him.
Psa
109:20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those
who speak evil against my soul.
Psa
109:21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake,
because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
Psa
109:22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
Psa
109:23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a
locust.
Psa
109:24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks
fat.
Psa
109:25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they
shake their head.
Psa
109:26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving
kindness;
Psa
109:27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh,
have done it.
Psa
109:28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be
shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
Psa
109:29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover
themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
Psa
109:30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will
praise him among the multitude.
Psa
109:31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him
from those who judge his soul.
Psa
110:1 Yahweh says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I
make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
Psa
110:2 Yahweh will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
Psa
110:3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your
power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the
dew of your youth.
Psa
110:4 Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are
a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."
Psa
110:5 The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day
of his wrath.
Psa
110:6 He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.
Psa
110:7 He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore he will lift
up his head.
Psa
111:1 Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart,
in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
Psa
111:2 Yahweh's works are great, pondered by all those who delight in
them.
Psa
111:3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures
forever.
Psa
111:4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. Yahweh is
gracious and merciful.
Psa
111:5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers
his covenant.
Psa
111:6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them
the heritage of the nations.
Psa
111:7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts
are sure.
Psa
111:8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth
and uprightness.
Psa
111:9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his
covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!
Psa
111:10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who
do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
