1: To the Chief Musician,H5329 of David.H1732 A PsalmH4210 GodH0430 of my praise-H8416 notH0408 do keep silent.H2790

2: ForH3588 the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 against meH5921 have openedH6605 they have spokenH1696 against meH0854 with a tongueH3956 lying.H8267

3: And with wordsH1697 of hatred-H8135 they have surrounded meH5437 and fought against meH3898 without a cause.H2600

4: In return forH8478 my loveH0160 they are my accusers-H7853 but I [give myself]H0589 [to] prayer.H8605

5: And they have rewardedH7760 meH5921 evilH7451 forH8478 good,H2896 thus hatredH8135 forH8478 my love.H0160

6: SetH6485 over himH5921 a wicked manH7563 and an accuserH7854 let standH5975 atH5921 his right hand.H3225

7: When he is judged,H8199 let him be foundH3318 guilty,H7563 and his prayerH8605 let becomeH1961 sin.H2401

8: Let beH1961 his daysH3117 few-H4592 his officeH6486 [And] let takeH3947 another.H0312

9: Let beH1961 his childrenH1121 fatherless,H3490 and his wifeH0802 a widow.H0490

10: And continuallyH5128 let be vagabonds,H5128 his childrenH1121 and beg-H7592 and let them seek [their bread]H1875 from their desolate places.H2723

11: Let seizeH5367 the creditorH5383 allH3605 thatH0834 and let plunderH0962 strangersH2114 his labor.H3018

12: NoneH0408 let there beH1961 and to extendH4900 mercyH2617 norH0408 let there be anyH1961 To favorH2603 his fatherless children.H3490

13: let beH1961 his posterityH0319 cut off-H3772 in the generationH1755 followingH0312 [And] let be blotted outH4229 their name.H8034

14: Let be rememberedH2142 the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH0001 beforeH0413 Yahweh-H3068 and the sinH2403 of his motherH0517 notH0408 let be blotted out.H4229

15: Let them beH1961 beforeH5048 YahwehH3068 continually,H8548 that He may cut offH3772 from the earthH0776 the memory of them.H2143

16: BecauseH3282 thatH0834 notH3808 he did rememberH2142 to showH6213 mercy,H2617 but persecutedH7291 the man,H0376 poorH6041 and needyH0034 that the broken inH5218 heartH3824 he might even slay.H4191

17: And as he lovedH0157 cursing,H7045 so let it come to himH0935 and as notH3808 he did delightH2654 in blessing,H1293 so let it be farH7368 from him.H4480

18: And as he clothed himselfH3847 with cursingH7045 as with his garment,H4055 so let it enterH0935 like water,H4325 his bodyH7130 and like oilH8081 into his bones.H6106

19: Let it beH1961 like the garmentH0899 which covers himH5844 and for a beltH4206 continuallyH8548 with which he girds himself.H2296

20: [let] this [be]H2063 the reward toH6468 my accusersH7853 -H0853 of Yahweh,H3068 and to those who speakH1696 evilH7451 againstH5921 my person.H5315

21: But YouH0859 GODH3069 the Lord,H0136 DealH6213 with meH0854 for sakeH4616 of Your nameH8034 becauseH3588 good,H2896 Your mercy [is]H2617 deliver me.H5337

22: ForH3588 poorH6041 and needy,H0034 I [am]H0595 and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490 within me.H7130

23: Like a shadowH6738 when it lengthens-H5186 I am goneH1980 I am shaken offH5287 like a locust.H0697

24: My kneesH1290 are weakH3782 through fasting-H6685 and my fleshH1320 is feebleH3584 from lack of fatness.H8081

25: And IH0589 have becomeH1961 a reproachH2781 to themH1992 [when] they look at meH7200 they shakeH5128 their heads.H7218

26: Help meH5826 YahwehH3068 my God-H0430 Oh save meH3467 according to Your mercy.H2617

27: That they may knowH3045 thatH3588 Your hand-H3027 this [is]H2063 [That] You,H0859 Yahweh,H3068 have done it.H6213

28: Let curse,H7043 themH1992 but You-H0859 blessH1288 when they arise,H6965 and let them be ashamed-H0954 but Your servantH5650 let rejoice.H8055

29: Let be clothedH3847 my accusersH7853 with shame,H3639 and let them cover themselvesH5844 as with a mantle.H4598 With their own disgrace,H1322

30: I will praiseH3034 YahwehH3068 greatlyH3966 with my mouth-H6310 and Yes amongH8432 the multitudeH7227 I will praise Him.H1984

31: ForH3588 He shall standH5975 at the right handH3225 of the poor,H0034 to save [him]H3467 from those who condemnH8199 him.H5315
