109:11 The creditor will seize upon all that they have and foreigners will weaken their power.
109:12 No one will be compassionate to them, neither will there be one to show mercy to their orphans.
109:13 Their end will be destruction, and in the following generation their name will be blotted out.
109:14 The evil of their fathers will be remembered and the sins of their mothers will not be blotted out.
109:15 But they will be before Lord Jehovah at all times and he will destroy their memory from the Earth.
109:16 Because they did not remember to do good and they persecuted the poor and afflicted him whose heart grieves to death.
109:17 They loved curses and they did not choose blessings.
109:18 And they wore curses like a supply of arms and they entered into them like waters and like oil into their bones.
109:19 It shall be for them like a cloak that covers them and like a belt around their waist always.
109:20 This is the work of those who regard Lord Jehovah as evil and of those who speak evil against my soul.
109:21 And you, Lord Jehovah, work with me because of your Name; because your favor is good, save me!
109:22 Because I am poor and afflicted my heart is troubled within me.
109:23 My steps have declined like the shadow and I am driven like locusts!
109:24 My knees are weakened from fasting and my flesh grows lean of fat.
109:25 And I have been a reproach to them; they saw me and they shook their heads.
109:26 Help me, Lord Jehovah, my God, and save me according to your kindness!
109:27 That they may know that this is of your hand and that you have done it.
109:28 They will be cursed and you will be blessed and your Servant will rejoice.
109:29 Those who have regarded me as evil will be clothed in shame and they will be covered with it like a mantle.
109:30 I shall confess Lord Jehovah with my mouth and I shall glorify him among many.
109:31 Because he stood at the right hand of the afflicted one to save his soul from judgment.
