| 1 | Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise. |
| 2 | For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth of the deceitfull are opened against mee: they haue spoken against me with a lying tongue. |
| 3 | They compassed mee about also with wordes of hatred: and fought against me without a cause. |
| 4 | For my loue, they are my aduersaries: but I giue my selfe vnto prayer. |
| 5 | And they haue rewarded me euill for good: and hatred for my loue. |
| 6 | Set thou a wicked man ouer him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. |
| 7 | When he shall be iudged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sinne. |
| 8 | Let his dayes be few: and let another take his office. |
| 9 | Let his children bee fatherlesse: and his wife a widow. |
| 10 | Let his children bee continually vagabonds, & begge: let them seeke their bread also out of their desolate places. |
| 11 | Let the extortioner catch all that he hath: and let the strangers spoile his labour. |
| 12 | Let there be none to extend mercy vnto him: neither let there be any to fauour his fatherlesse children. |
| 13 | Let his posteritie be cut off: and in the generation folowing let their name be blotted out. |
| 14 | Let the iniquitie of his fathers be remembred with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be blotted out. |
| 15 | Let them be before the Lord continually: that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. |
| 16 | Because that he remembred not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poore and needy man: that he might euen slay the broken in heart. |
| 17 | As he loued cursing, so let it come vnto him: as hee delighted not in blessing, so let it be farre from him. |
| 18 | As he clothed himselfe with cursing like as with his garment: so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones. |
| 19 | Let it be vnto him as the garment which couereth him: and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. |
| 20 | Let this be the reward of mine aduersaries from the Lord: and of them that speake euill against my soule. |
| 21 | But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy Names sake: because thy mercie is good: deliuer thou me. |
| 22 | For I am poore and needie: and my heart is wounded within me. |
| 23 | I am gone like the shadow, when it declineth: I am tossed vp and downe as the locust. |
| 24 | My knees are weake through fasting: and my flesh faileth of fatnesse. |
| 25 | I became also a reproch vnto them: when they looked vpon me, they shaked their heads. |
| 26 | Helpe me, O Lord my God: O saue me according to thy mercie. |
| 27 | That they may know, that this is thy hand: that thou, Lord, hast done it. |
| 28 | Let them curse, but blesse thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed, but let thy seruant reioyce. |
| 29 | Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame: and let them couer them selues with their owne confusion, as with a mantle. |
| 30 | I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth: yea I will praise him among the multitude. |
| 31 | For he shal stand at the right hand of the poore: to saue him from those that condemne his soule. |
