시편 109편 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Holde not thy toge, o God of my prayse. For the mouth of the vngodly, yee and the mouth of the disceatfull is opened vpon me,
- 2 and speake agaynst me with false toges. They compase me aboute with wordes of hatred, & fight agaynst me without a cause.
- 3 For the loue that I had vnto them, they take now my contrary parte, but I geue my self vnto prayer.
- 4 Thus they rewarde me euell for good, & hatred for my good will.
- 5 Set an vngodly man to be ruler ouer him, & let Satan stonde at his right hande.
- 6 When sentence is geuen vpon him, let him be codempned, and let his prayer be turned in to synne.
- 7 Let his dayes be fewe, and his bishopricke another take.
- 8 Let his children be fatherlesse, & his wife a wyddowe.
- 9 Let his children be vagabundes, and begg their bred: let them seke it, as they that be destroyed.
- 10 Let the extorcioner cosume all that he hath, and let straungers spoyle his laboure.
- 11 Let there be no man to petie, ner to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children.
- 12 Let his ende be destruccion, and in the nexte generacion let his name be clene put out.
- 13 Let the wickednesse of his fathers be had in remembraunce in the sight of the LORDE, and let not the synne of his mother be done awaye.
- 14 Let them be allwaye before the LORDE, but as for the memoriall of them selues, let it perish from out of the earth.
- 15 And that because his mynde was not to do good, but persecuted the poore helplesse, and him that was vexed at the herte, to slaye him.
- 16 His delite was in cursynge, and therfore shall it happe vnto him: he loued not blessynge, and that shall be farre fro him.
- 17 He clothed him self with cursynge like as with a rayment: yee it wente in to his bowels like water, and like oyle in to his bones.
- 18 Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him, and as the gyrdle that he is gyrded withall.
- 19 Let it thus happen from the LORDE vnto myne enemies, and to those that speake euell agaynst my soule.
- 20 But deale thou with me (o LORDE God) acordinge vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy.
- 21 O delyuer me, for I am helplesse & poore, & my herte is wounded within me,
- 22 I go hence like ye shadowe that departeth, and am dryuen awaye as ye greshoppers.
- 23 My knees are weake thorow fastinge, my flesh is dried vp for want of fatnesse.
- 24 I am become a rebuke vnto them, they loke vpo me and shake their heades.
- 25 Helpe me o LORDE my God, oh saue me for thy mercies sake.
- 26 That they maye knowe, how that this is thy hande, and that thou hast done it.
- 27 Though they curse, yet blesse thou:
- 28 and let them be cofounded, that ryse vp agaynst me, but let thy seruaunt reioyse.
- 29 Let myne aduersaries be clothed with their owne shame, as with a cloake.
- 30 As for me, I wil geue thankes vnto the LORDE with my mouth, and prayse him amonge the multitude.
- 31 For he stondeth at the right hande of the poore, to saue him from soch as condempne his soule.
