To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Hold not thy peaceH2790, O GodH430 of my praiseH8416;
For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 are openedH6605 against me: they have spokenH1696 against me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956. {of the deceitful: Heb. of deceit} {are opened: Heb. have opened themselves}
They compassedH5437 me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135; and foughtH3898 against me without a causeH2600.
For my loveH160 they are my adversariesH7853: but I give myself unto prayerH8605.
And they have rewardedH7760 me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160.
SetH6485 thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975 at his right handH3225. {Satan: or, an adversary}
When he shall be judgedH8199, let him beH3318 condemnedH7563: and let his prayerH8605 become sinH2401. {be condemned: Heb. go out guilty, or, wicked}
Let his daysH3117 be fewH4592; and let anotherH312 takeH3947 his officeH6486. {office: or, charge}
Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490.
Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128 vagabondsH5128, and begH7592: let them seekH1875 their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723.
Let the extortionerH5383 catchH5367 all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114 spoilH962 his labourH3018.
Let there be none to extendH4900 mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603 his fatherless childrenH3490.
Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.
Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with the LORDH3068; and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted outH4229.
Let them be before the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772 the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.
Because that he rememberedH2142 not to shewH6213 mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291 the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191 the brokenH3512 in heartH3824.
As he lovedH157 cursingH7045, so let it comeH935 unto him: as he delightedH2654 not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from him.
As he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935 into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106. {into his bowels: Heb. within him}
Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844 him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.
Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853 from the LORDH3068, and of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.
But doH6213 thou for me, O GODH3069 the LordH136, for thy name'sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou me.
For I am poorH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490 withinH7130 me.
I am goneH1980 like the shadowH6738 when it declinethH5186: I am tossed up and downH5287 as the locustH697.
My kneesH1290 are weakH3782 through fastingH6685; and my fleshH1320 failethH3584 of fatnessH8081.
I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: when they lookedH7200 upon me they shakedH5128 their headsH7218.
HelpH5826 me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430: O saveH3467 me according to thy mercyH2617:
That they may knowH3045 that this is thy handH3027; that thou, LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 it.
Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou: when they ariseH6965, let them be ashamedH954; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.
Let mine adversariesH7853 be clothedH3847 with shameH3639, and let them coverH5844 themselves with their own confusionH1322, as with a mantleH4598.
I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984 him amongH8432 the multitudeH7227.
For he shall standH5975 at the right handH3225 of the poorH34, to saveH3467 him from those that condemnH8199 his soulH5315. {those…: Heb. the judges of}

BecauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195 and thy wrathH7110: for thou hast lifted me upH5375, and cast me downH7993.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his rodH4294 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 broughtH5090 an eastH6921 windH7307 upon the landH776 all that dayH3117, and all that nightH3915; and when it was morningH1242, the eastH6921 windH7307 broughtH5375 the locustsH697.
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723. {abiding: Heb. expectation}
And the LORDH3068 turnedH2015 a mightyH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307, which took awayH5375 the locustsH697, and castH8628 them into the RedH5488 seaH3220; there remainedH7604 not oneH259 locustH697 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714. {cast: Heb. fastened}
He cometh forthH3318 like a flowerH6731, and is cut downH5243: he fleethH1272 also as a shadowH6738, and continuethH5975 not.
For who knowethH3045 what is goodH2896 for manH120 in this lifeH2416, allH4557 the daysH3117 of his vainH1892 lifeH2416 which he spendethH6213 as a shadowH6738? for who can tellH5046 a manH120 what shall be afterH310 him under the sunH8121? {all…: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}
