¹To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;2 sermons²For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.2 sermons³They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.2 sermons⁴For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.2 sermons⁵And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.2 sermons⁶Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.2 sermons⁷When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.2 sermons⁸Let his days be few; and let another take his office.3 sermons⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.2 sermons¹⁰Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.2 sermons¹¹Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.2 sermons¹²Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.2 sermons¹³Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.2 sermons¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.2 sermons¹⁵Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.2 sermons¹⁶Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.2 sermons¹⁷As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.2 sermons¹⁸As 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.2 sermons¹⁹Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.2 sermons²⁰Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.2 sermons²¹But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.2 sermons²²For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.2 sermons²³I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.2 sermons²⁴My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.2 sermons²⁵I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.2 sermons²⁶Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:2 sermons²⁷That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.2 sermons²⁸Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.2 sermons²⁹Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.2 sermons³⁰I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.2 sermons³¹For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.2 sermons
