  1 O aGod° of my praise°,

  But bI am [in] prayer°.
  5 Thus they have I arepaid° me evil° for good°
  And bhatred° for my love°.

David, complaining of his slanderous enemies, under the person of Judas devoteth them.

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician,º ª A Psalmº of David.]]º Hold² not² thy peace,¹ ª O Godº of my praise;º 2 For² the mouthº of the wickedº and the mouthº of the deceitfulº are openedº ª against² me: they have spokenº ª against² me with a lyingº tongue.º 3 They compassed¹ ª me about² also with wordsº of hatred;º and fought¹ ª against² me without a cause.º 4 For² my loveº they are my adversaries:º ª but I² [give myself unto] prayer.º 5 And they have rewardedº ª ² me evilº for² good,º and hatredº for² my love.º 6 Setº ª thou a wicked manº over² him: and let Satanº standº ª at² his right hand.º 7 When he shall be judged,º ª let him be¹ ª condemned:º ² and let² his prayerº become² sin.º 8 Let his daysº be² few;º [and] let anotherº takeº ª his office.º 9 Let his childrenº be² fatherless,º and his wifeº a widow.º 10 Let his childrenº be continually¹ ª vagabonds,º ª and beg:º ª let them seekº ª [their bread] also out of their desolate places.º ² 11 Let the extortionerº ª catchº ª all² that² he hath; and let the strangersº ª spoilº ª his labour.º 12 Let there be² none² to extendº ª mercyº unto him: neither² let there be² any to favourº ª his fatherless children.º 13 Let his posterityº be² cut off;º ª [and] in the generationº followingº let their nameº be blotted out.º ª 14 Let the iniquityº of his fathersº be rememberedº ª with² the LORD;º and let not² the sinº of his motherº be blotted out.º ª 15 Let them be² before² the LORDº continually,º that he may cut offº ª the memoryº of them from the earth.º ²

He sheweth their sin.

16 Because² that² he rememberedº ª not² to shewº ª mercy,º but persecutedº ª the poorº and needyº man,º that he might even slayº ª the brokenº ª in heart.º 17 As he lovedº ª cursing,º so let it comeº ª unto him: as he delightedº ª not² in blessing,º so let it be farº ª from² him. 18 As he clothedº ª himself with cursingº like as with his garment,º so let it comeº ª into his bowelsº like water,º and like oilº into his bones.º 19 Let it be² unto him as the garmentº [which] coverethº ª him, and for a girdleº wherewith he is girdedº ª continually.º 20 [Let] this² [be] the rewardº of mine adversariesº ª from² ² the LORD,º and of them that speakº ª evilº against² my soul.º

Complaining of his own misery, he prayeth for help.

21 But doº ª thou² for² me, O GODº the Lord,º for thy name's¹ sake:² ² because² thy mercyº [is] good,º deliverº ª thou me. 22 For² I² [am] poorº and needy,º and my heartº is woundedº ª withinº me. 23 I am goneº ª like the shadowº when it declineth:º ª I am tossed up and downº ª as the locust.º 24 My kneesº are weakº ª through fasting;º ² and my fleshº failethº ª of fatness.º ² 25 I² became² also a reproachº unto them: [when] they looked¹ ª upon² me they shakedº ª their heads.º 26 Helpº ª me, O LORDº my God:º O saveº ª me according to thy mercy:º 27 That² they may knowº ª that this² [is] thy hand;º [that] thou,² LORD,º hast doneº ª it. 28 Let them² curse,º ª but blessº ª thou:² when they arise,º ª let them be ashamed;º ª but let thy servantº rejoice.º ª 29 Let mine adversariesº ª be clothedº ª with shame,º and let them coverº ª themselves with their own confusion,º as with a mantle.º
