1. To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 , A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 . Hold H2790 not H408 thy peace , O God H430 of my praise H8416 ;
|
|
2. For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
|
2. For H3588 the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 and the mouth H6310 of the deceitful H4820 are opened H6605 against H5921 me : they have spoken H1696 against H854 me with a lying H8267 tongue H3956 .
|
|
3. They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
|
3. They compassed me about H5437 also with words H1697 of hatred H8135 ; and fought against H3898 me without a cause H2600 .
|
|
4. For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!
|
4. For H8478 my love H160 they are my adversaries H7853 : but I H589 give myself unto prayer H8605 .
|
|
5. And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
|
5. And they have rewarded H7760 H5921 me evil H7451 for H8478 good H2896 , and hatred H8135 for H8478 my love H160 .
|
|
6. Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
|
6. Set H6485 thou a wicked man H7563 over H5921 him : and let Satan H7854 stand H5975 at H5921 his right hand H3225 .
|
|
7. In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
|
7. When he shall be judged H8199 , let him be condemned H3318 H7563 : and let H3318 his prayer H8605 become H1961 sin H2401 .
|
|
8. His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
|
8. Let his days H3117 be H1961 few H4592 ; and let another H312 take H3947 his office H6486 .
|
|
9. His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
|
9. Let his children H1121 be H1961 fatherless H3490 , and his wife H802 a widow H490 .
|
|
10. And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
|
10. Let his children H1121 be continually vagabonds H5128 H5128 , and beg H7592 : let them seek H1875 their bread also out of their desolate places H4480 H2723 .
|
|
11. An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
|
11. Let the extortioner H5383 catch H5367 all H3605 that H834 he hath ; and let the strangers H2114 spoil H962 his labor H3018 .
|
|
12. He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
|
12. Let there be H1961 none H408 to extend H4900 mercy H2617 unto him: neither H408 let there be H1961 any to favor H2603 his fatherless children H3490 .
|
|
13. His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
|
13. Let his posterity H319 be H1961 cut off H3772 ; and in the generation H1755 following H312 let their name H8034 be blotted out H4229 .
|
|
14. The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
|
14. Let the iniquity H5771 of his fathers H1 be remembered H2142 with H413 the LORD H3068 ; and let not H408 the sin H2403 of his mother H517 be blotted out H4229 .
|
|
15. They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
|
15. Let them be H1961 before H5048 the LORD H3068 continually H8548 , that he may cut off H3772 the memory H2143 of them from the earth H4480 H776 .
|
|
16. Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,
|
16. Because H3282 that H834 he remembered H2142 not H3808 to show H6213 mercy H2617 , but persecuted H7291 the poor H6041 and needy H34 man H376 , that he might even slay H4191 the broken H3512 in heart H3824 .
|
|
17. And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
|
17. As he loved H157 cursing H7045 , so let it come H935 unto him : as he delighted H2654 not H3808 in blessing H1293 , so let it be far H7368 from H4480 him.
|
|
18. And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
|
18. As he clothed H3847 himself with cursing H7045 like as with his garment H4055 , so let it come H935 into his bowels H7130 like water H4325 , and like oil H8081 into his bones H6106 .
|
|
19. It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
|
19. Let it be H1961 unto him as the garment H899 which covereth H5844 him , and for a girdle H4206 wherewith he is girded H2296 continually H8548 .
|
|
20. This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
|
20. Let this H2063 be the reward H6468 of mine adversaries H7853 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 , and of them that speak H1696 evil H7451 against H5921 my soul H5315 .
|
|
21. And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name`s sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.
|
21. But do H6213 thou H859 for H854 me , O GOD H3069 the Lord H136 , for thy name's sake H4616 H8034 : because H3588 thy mercy H2617 is good H2896 , deliver H5337 thou me.
|
|
22. For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
|
22. For H3588 I H595 am poor H6041 and needy H34 , and my heart H3820 is wounded H2490 within H7130 me.
|
|
23. As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
|
23. I am gone H1980 like the shadow H6738 when it declineth H5186 : I am tossed up and down H5287 as the locust H697 .
|
|
24. My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
|
24. My knees H1290 are weak H3782 through fasting H4480 H6685 ; and my flesh H1320 faileth H3584 of fatness H4480 H8081 .
|
|
25. And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
|
25. I H589 became H1961 also a reproach H2781 unto them: when they looked upon H7200 me they shaked H5128 their heads H7218 .
|
|
26. Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
|
26. Help H5826 me , O LORD H3068 my God H430 : O save H3467 me according to thy mercy H2617 :
|
|
27. And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.
|
27. That H3588 they may know H3045 that this H2063 is thy hand H3027 ; that thou H859 , LORD H3068 , hast done H6213 it.
|
|
28. They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
|
28. Let them H1992 curse H7043 , but bless H1288 thou H859 : when they arise H6965 , let them be ashamed H954 ; but let thy servant H5650 rejoice H8055 .
|
|
29. Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.
|
29. Let mine adversaries H7853 be clothed H3847 with shame H3639 , and let them cover H5844 themselves with their own confusion H1322 , as with a mantle H4598 .
|
|
30. I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,
|
30. I will greatly H3966 praise H3034 the LORD H3068 with my mouth H6310 ; yea , I will praise H1984 him among H8432 the multitude H7227 .
|
|
31. For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
|
31. For H3588 he shall stand H5975 at the right hand H3225 of the poor H34 , to save H3467 him from those that condemn H4480 H8199 his soul H5315 .
