1 To the chief Musician 5329, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. Hold not thy peace 2790, O God 430 of my praise 8416;
2 For the mouth 6310 of the wicked 7563 and the mouth 6310 of the deceitful 4820 are opened 6605 against me: they have spoken 1696 against me with a lying 8267 tongue 3956.
3 They compassed 5437 me about also with words 1697 of hatred 8135; and fought 3898 against me without a cause 2600.
4 For my love 160 they are my adversaries 7853: but I give myself unto prayer 8605.
5 And they have rewarded 7760 me evil 7451 for good 2896, and hatred 8135 for my love 160.
6 Set 6485 thou a wicked man 7563 over him: and let Satan 7854 stand 5975 at his right hand 3225.
7 When he shall be judged 8199, let him be 3318 condemned 7563: and let his prayer 8605 become sin 2401.
8 Let his days 3117 be few 4592; and let another 312 take 3947 his office 6486.
9 Let his children 1121 be fatherless 3490, and his wife 802 a widow 490.
10 Let his children 1121 be continually 5128 vagabonds 5128, and beg 7592: let them seek 1875 their bread also out of their desolate places 2723.
11 Let the extortioner 5383 catch 5367 all that he hath; and let the strangers 2114 spoil 962 his labour 3018.
12 Let there be none to extend 4900 mercy 2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favour 2603 his fatherless children 3490.
13 Let his posterity 319 be cut off 3772; and in the generation 1755 following 312 let their name 8034 be blotted out 4229.
14 Let the iniquity 5771 of his fathers 1 be remembered 2142 with the LORD 3068; and let not the sin 2403 of his mother 517 be blotted out 4229.
15 Let them be before the LORD 3068 continually 8548, that he may cut off 3772 the memory 2143 of them from the earth 776.
16 Because that he remembered 2142 not to shew 6213 mercy 2617, but persecuted 7291 the poor 6041 and needy 34 man 376, that he might even slay 4191 the broken 3512 in heart 3824.
17 As he loved 157 cursing 7045, so let it come 935 unto him: as he delighted 2654 not in blessing 1293, so let it be far 7368 from him.
18 As he clothed 3847 himself with cursing 7045 like as with his garment 4055, so let it come 935 into his bowels 7130 like water 4325, and like oil 8081 into his bones 6106.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment 899 which covereth 5844 him, and for a girdle 4206 wherewith he is girded 2296 continually 8548.
20 Let this be the reward 6468 of mine adversaries 7853 from the LORD 3068, and of them that speak 1696 evil 7451 against my soul 5315.
21 But do 6213 thou for me, O GOD 3069 the Lord 136, for thy name's 8034 sake: because thy mercy 2617 is good 2896, deliver 5337 thou me.
22 For I am poor 6041 and needy 34, and my heart 3820 is wounded 2490 within 7130 me.
23 I am gone 1980 like the shadow 6738 when it declineth 5186: I am tossed up and down 5287 as the locust 697.
24 My knees 1290 are weak 3782 through fasting 6685; and my flesh 1320 faileth 3584 of fatness 8081.
25 I became also a reproach 2781 unto them: when they looked 7200 upon me they shaked 5128 their heads 7218.
26 Help 5826 me, O LORD 3068 my God 430: O save 3467 me according to thy mercy 2617:
27 That they may know 3045 that this is thy hand 3027; that thou, LORD 3068, hast done 6213 it.
28 Let them curse 7043, but bless 1288 thou: when they arise 6965, let them be ashamed 954; but let thy servant 5650 rejoice 8055.
29 Let mine adversaries 7853 be clothed 3847 with shame 3639, and let them cover 5844 themselves with their own confusion 1322, as with a mantle 4598.
30 I will greatly 3966 praise 3034 the LORD 3068 with my mouth 6310; yea, I will praise 1984 him among 8432 the multitude 7227.
31 For he shall stand 5975 at the right hand 3225 of the poor 34, to save 3467 him from those that condemn 8199 his soul 5315.
