Let them be sought
from their ruins.
109:011 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder
the fruit of his labor.
109:012 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, neither let there
be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
109:013 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following
let their name be blotted out.
109:014 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.
Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:015 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off
the memory of them from the earth;
109:016 because he didn't remember to show kindness, but persecuted
the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
109:017 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight
in blessing, and it was far from him.
109:018 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.
It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
109:019 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,
for the belt that is always around him.
109:020 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those
who speak evil against my soul.
109:021 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake,
because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
109:022 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
109:023 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
109:024 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
109:025 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me,
they shake their head.
109:026 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
109:027 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh,
have done it.
109:028 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will
be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
109:029 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover
themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
109:030 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will
praise him among the multitude.
109:031 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him
from those who judge his soul.
110:001 <<A Psalm by David.>> Yahweh says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
110:002 Yahweh will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
110:003 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power,
in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have
the dew of your youth.
110:004 Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind:
"You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."
110:005 The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day
of his wrath.
110:006 He will judge among the nations.
