109:1Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

109:2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

109:3They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

109:4For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

109:5And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

109:6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

109:7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

109:8Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

109:9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

109:10Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

109:11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

109:12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

109:13Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

109:14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

109:16Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

109:17As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

109:18As 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.

109:19Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

109:20Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

109:21But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

109:22For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

109:23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

109:24My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

109:25I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

109:26Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

109:27That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

109:28Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

109:29Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

109:30I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

109:31For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

110:0A Psalm of David.

110:1The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

110:2The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

110:3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

110:4The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

110:5The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

110:6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

110:7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

111:0

111:1Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

111:2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

111:3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

111:4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

111:5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

111:6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

111:7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

111:8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

111:9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

111:10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
