== Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 109 ==

<named id="1"/>1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O G-d of my praise, keep not silence;

<named id="2"/>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.

<named id="3"/>3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

<named id="4"/>4 In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer.

<named id="5"/>5 And they have laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love:

<named id="6"/>6 'Set Thou a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand.

<named id="7"/>7 When he is judged, let him go forth condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin.

<named id="8"/>8 Let his days be few; let another take his charge.

<named id="9"/>9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

<named id="10"/>10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.

<named id="11"/>11 Let the creditor distrain all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.

<named id="12"/>12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; neither let there be any to be gracious unto his fatherless children.

<named id="13"/>13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

<named id="14"/>14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be brought to remembrance unto HaShem; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

<named id="15"/>15 Let them be before HaShem continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

<named id="16"/>16 Because that he remembered not to do kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart he was ready to slay.

<named id="17"/>17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not in blessing, and it is far from him.

<named id="18"/>18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his raiment, and it is come into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.

<named id="19"/>19 Let it be unto him as the garment which he putteth on, and for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.'

<named id="20"/>20 This would mine adversaries effect from HaShem, and they that speak evil against my soul.

<named id="21"/>21 But Thou, O GOD the L-rd, deal with me for Thy name's sake; because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me.

<named id="22"/>22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

<named id="23"/>23 I am gone like the shadow when it lengtheneth; I am shaken off as the locust.

<named id="24"/>24 My knees totter through fasting; and my flesh is lean, and hath no fatness.

<named id="25"/>25 I am become also a taunt unto them; when they see me, they shake their head.

<named id="26"/>26 Help me, O HaShem my G-d; O save me according to Thy mercy;

<named id="27"/>27 That they may know that this is Thy hand; that Thou, HaShem, hast done it.

<named id="28"/>28 Let them curse, but bless Thou; when they arise, they shall be put to shame, but Thy servant shall rejoice.

<named id="29"/>29 Mine adversaries shall be clothed with confusion, and shall put on their own shame as a robe.

<named id="30"/>30 I will give great thanks unto HaShem with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him among the multitude;

<named id="31"/>31 Because He standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul.
