Psalms 109:24-31
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 109
24My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. 25I also have become a disgrace to them; When they see me, they shake their head. 26Help 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. 28They 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. 30With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the Lord; And I will praise Him in the midst of many. 31For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.King James Version
Chapter 109
24My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 25I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 27That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. 28Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. 29Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 30I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 31For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.Christian Standard Bible
25I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
26Help me, Lord my God; save me according to your faithful love
27so they may know that this is your hand and that you, Lord, have done it.
28Though they curse, you will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but your servant will rejoice.
29My accusers will be clothed with disgrace; they will wear their shame like a cloak.
30I will fervently thank the Lord with my mouth; I will praise him in the presence of many.
31For he stands at the right hand of the needy to save him from those who would condemn him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 109
24My knees are weak from fasting, and I am skin and bones. 25I am a joke to people everywhere; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
26Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love.
27Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, Lord.
28Then 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!
29May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.
30But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him to everyone.
31For he stands beside the needy, ready to save them from those who condemn them.
English Standard Version
Chapter 109
24My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat. 25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads. 26Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to your steadfast love! 27Let them know that this is your hand; you, O LORD, have done it! 28Let them curse, but you will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad! 29May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak! 30With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng. 31For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.New International Version
25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26Help me, LORD my God; save me according to your unfailing love.
27Let them know that it is your hand, that you, LORD, have done it.
28While they curse, may you bless; may those who attack me be put to shame, but may your servant rejoice.
