¹(109) For the end, a Psalm of David. For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;

¹O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

²for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

²Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

³And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

³I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

⁴Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.

⁴For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

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

⁵Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

⁶Set you a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.

⁶That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

⁷When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

⁷God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

⁸Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.

⁸Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

⁹Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.

⁹Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

¹⁰Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.

¹⁰Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

¹¹Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labors.

¹¹Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

¹²Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.

¹²Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

¹³Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.

¹³Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
