Psalm 108
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.
4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
5 And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
8 May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
9 May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
11 May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
12 May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
13 May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
15 May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:
16 because he remembered not to show mercy,
17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.
21 But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me.
22 for I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.
23 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.
24 My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.
25 And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads,
26 Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy.
27 And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
30 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.
31 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors
