Psalms 109:16-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 109
16
Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the afflicted and needy person,
And the despondent in heart, to put
them
to death.
17
He also loved cursing, so it came to him;
And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
18
But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it entered his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19
May it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself,
And as a belt which he constantly wears around himself.
20
May
this
be
the reward of my accusers from the
Lord
,
And of those who speak evil against my soul.
21
But You,
God
, the Lord, deal
kindly
with me for the sake of Your name;
Because Your mercy is good, rescue me;
22
For I am afflicted and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
23
I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like the locust.
24
My knees are weak from fasting,
And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.
25
I also have become a disgrace to them;
When they see me, they shake their head.
26
Help me,
Lord
my God;
Save me according to Your mercy.
27
And may they know that this is Your hand;
You,
Lord
, have done it.
28
They will curse, but You bless;
When they arise, they will be ashamed,
But Your servant will be glad.
29
May my accusers be clothed with dishonor,
And may they cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
King James Version
Chapter 109
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 109
16
For he did not think to show kindness,
but pursued the suffering, needy, and brokenhearted
in order to put them to death.
17
He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.
18
He wore cursing like his coat—
let it enter his body like water
and go into his bones like oil.
19
Let it be like a robe he wraps around himself,
like a belt he always wears.
20
Let this be the
Lord
’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil against me.
21
But you,
Lord
, my Lord,
deal kindly with me for your name’s sake;
because your faithful love is good, rescue me.
22
For I am suffering and needy;
my heart is wounded within me.
23
I fade away like a lengthening shadow;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24
My knees are weak from fasting,
and my body is emaciated.
25
I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
26
Help me,
Lord
my God;
save me according to your faithful love
27
so they may know that this is your hand
and that you,
Lord
, have done it.
28
Though they curse, you will bless.
When they rise up, they will be put to shame,
but your servant will rejoice.
29
My accusers will be clothed with disgrace;
they will wear their shame like a cloak.
New Living Translation
Chapter 109
16
For he refused all kindness to others;
he persecuted the poor and needy,
and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.
17
He loved to curse others;
now you curse him.
He never blessed others;
now don’t you bless him.
18
Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing,
or the water he drinks,
or the rich food he eats.
19
Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing;
may they be tied around him like a belt.'
20
May those curses become the
Lord
’s punishment
for my accusers who speak evil of me.
21
But deal well with me, O Sovereign
Lord
,
for the sake of your own reputation!
Rescue me
because you are so faithful and good.
22
For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is full of pain.
23
I am fading like a shadow at dusk;
I am brushed off like a locust.
24
My knees are weak from fasting,
and I am skin and bones.
25
I am a joke to people everywhere;
when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
26
Help me, O
Lord
my God!
Save me because of your unfailing love.
27
Let them see that this is your doing,
that you yourself have done it,
Lord
.
28
Then let them curse me if they like,
but you will bless me!
When they attack me, they will be disgraced!
But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!
29
May my accusers be clothed with disgrace;
may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.
English Standard Version
Chapter 109
16
For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17
He loved to curse; let curses come upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!
18
He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it soak into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19
May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
20
May this be the reward of my accusers from the
Lord
,
of those who speak evil against my life!
21
But you, O
God
my Lord,
deal on my behalf for your name 's sake;
because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!
22
For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is stricken within me.
23
I am gone like a shadow at evening;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24
My knees are weak through fasting;
my body has become gaunt, with no fat.
25
I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they wag their heads.
26
Help me, O
Lord
my God!
Save me according to your steadfast love!
27
Let them know that this is your hand;
you, O
Lord
, have done it!
28
Let them curse, but you will bless!
They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad!
29
May my accusers be clothed with dishonor;
may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!
New International Version
Chapter 109
16
For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy and the brokenhearted.
17
He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18
He wore cursing as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,
into his bones like oil.
19
May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
20
May this be the
Lord
’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil of me.
21
But you, Sovereign
Lord
,
help me for your name’s sake;
out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
22
For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me.
23
I fade away like an evening shadow;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24
My knees give way from fasting;
my body is thin and gaunt.
25
I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads.
26
Help me,
Lord
my God;
save me according to your unfailing love.
27
Let them know that it is your hand,
that you,
Lord
, have done it.
28
While they curse, may you bless;
may those who attack me be put to shame,
but may your servant rejoice.
29
May my accusers be clothed with disgrace
and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.
New King James Version
Chapter 109
16
Because he did not remember to show 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 to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18
As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19
Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
20
Let
this
be
the
Lord
’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.
21
But You, O
God
the Lord,
Deal with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your mercy
is
good, deliver me.
22
For I
am
poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
23
I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24
My knees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
25
I also have become a reproach to them;
When
they look at me, they shake their heads.
26
Help me, O
Lord
my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
27
That they may know that this
is
Your hand—
That
You,
Lord
, have done it!
28
Let them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let Your servant rejoice.
29
Let my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.
