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;

¹A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

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.

²Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

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

³I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

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

⁴For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

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

⁵Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.

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

⁶That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

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

⁷God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 my helmet. Judah is my scepter.

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

⁹Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”

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

¹⁰Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

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

¹¹Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

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

¹²Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

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

¹³Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
