Tehillim, starting at chapter 109
Psalm 109
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
{109:1} God of my praise, don't remain silent,
{109:2} For they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth
of deceit against me.
They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
{109:3} They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause.
{109:4} In return for my love, they are my adversaries;
But I am in prayer.
{109:5} They have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.
{109:6} Set a wicked man over him.
Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
{109:7} When he is judged, let him come forth guilty.
Let his prayer be turned into sin.
{109:8} Let his days be few.
Let another take his office.
{109:9} Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
{109:10} Let his children be wandering beggars.
Let them be sought from their ruins.
{109:11} Let the creditor seize all that he has.
Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
{109:12} Let there be none to extend kindness to him,
Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
{109:13} Let his posterity be cut off.
In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
{109:14} Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD.
Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
{109:15} Let them be before the LORD continually,
That he may cut off the memory of them from the [1>]eretz[<1];
{109:16} Because he didn't remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
The broken in heart, to kill them.
{109:17} Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.
He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
{109:18} He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.
It came into his inward parts like water,
Like oil into his bones.
{109:19} Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,
For the belt that is always around him.
{109:20} This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD,
Of those who speak evil against my soul.
{109:21} But deal with me, the LORD the Lord, for your name's sake,
Because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
{109:22} For I am poor and needy.
My heart is wounded within me.
{109:23} I fade away like an evening shadow.
I am shaken off like a [2>]arbeh[<2].
{109:24} My knees are weak through fasting.
My body is thin and lacks fat.
{109:25} I have also become a reproach to them.
When they see me, they shake their head.
{109:26} Help me, LORD, my God.
Save me according to your loving kindness;
{109:27} That they may know that this is your hand;
That you, LORD, have done it.
{109:28} They may curse, but you bless.
When they arise, they will be shamed,
But your servant shall rejoice.
{109:29} Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.
Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
{109:30} I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth.
Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
{109:31} For he will stand at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.
Psalm 110
A Psalm by David.
{110:1} The LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
{110:2} The LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of
Tziyon.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
{110:3} Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your
power, in holy array.
Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.
{110:4} The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind:
"You are a [1>]Kohen[<1] forever in the order of Malki-Tzedek."
{110:5} The Lord is at your right hand.
He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.
{110:6} He will judge among the nations.
He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole [2>]eretz[<2].
{110:7} He will drink of the brook in the way;
Therefore he will lift up his head.
Psalm 111
{111:1} Praise the LORD!
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,
In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
{111:2} The LORD's works are great,
Pondered by all those who delight in them.
{111:3} His work is honor and majesty.
His righteousness endures forever.
{111:4} He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.
The LORD is gracious and merciful.
{111:5} He has given food to those who fear him.
He always remembers his covenant.
{111:6} He has shown his people the power of his works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
{111:7} The works of his hands are truth and justice.
All his precepts are sure.
{111:8} They are established forever and ever.
They are done in truth and uprightness.
{111:9} He has sent redemption to his people.
He has ordained his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awesome!
{111:10} The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who do his work have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!
