Psalms 108

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

108:1

For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;

—

108:2

for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

—

108:3

And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

—

108:4

Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.

—

108:5

And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

—

108:6

Set thou a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.

—

108:7

When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

—

108:8

Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.

—

108:9

Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.

—

108:10

Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.

—

108:11

Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours.

—

108:12

Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.

—

108:13

Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.

—

108:14

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

—

108:15

Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.

—

108:16

Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to slay him that was pricked in the heart.

—

108:17

He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.

—

108:18

Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.

—

108:19

Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.

—

108:20

This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

—

108:21

But thou, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for thy name's sake: for thy mercy is good.

—

108:22

Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.

—

108:23

I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.

—

108:24

My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of [the want of] oil.

—

108:25

I became also a reproach to them: [when] they saw me they shook their heads.

—

108:26

Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to thy mercy.

—

108:27

And let them know that this is thy hand; and [that] thou, Lord, hast wrought it.

—

108:28

Let them curse, but thou shalt bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let thy servant rejoice.

—

108:29

Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

—

108:30

I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.

—

108:31

For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save [me] from them that persecute my soul.
