HOLD not thy peace, O God of my praise;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016364">2</a>. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016365">3</a>. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016366">4</a>. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016367">5</a>. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016368">6</a>. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016369">7</a>. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016370">8</a>. Let his days be few; and let another take his office.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016371">9</a>. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016372">10</a>. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016373">11</a>. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016374">12</a>. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016375">13</a>. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016376">14</a>. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016377">15</a>. Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016378">16</a>. Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016379">17</a>. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016380">18</a>. As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016381">19</a>. Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016382">20</a>. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016383">21</a>. But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016384">22</a>. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016385">23</a>. I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016386">24</a>. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016387">25</a>. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016388">26</a>. Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016389">27</a>. That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016390">28</a>. Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016391">29</a>. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016392">30</a>. I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1016393">31</a>. For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.</li>
