Psalms 109:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 109
1God of my praise, Do not be silent! 2For they have opened a wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And have fought against me without cause. 4In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer. 5So they have repaid me evil for good, And hatred for my love. 6Appoint a wicked person over him, And may an accuser stand at his right hand. 7When he is judged, may he come out guilty, And may his prayer become sin. 8May his days be few; May another take his office.King James Version
