Questions




[[1]]

Mouth of the wicked

1 ¶ 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.

Evil for good

[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.

His days few

[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.

Let extortion

[11] Let the extortioner (lender)^[1] catch(ensnare)^[2] all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

[12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto

[‭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.
