  Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and nine for the Chief Musician, a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: psalm by David, God of my praise. Don't remain silent,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: me with a lying tongue. They have also surrounded me
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: In return for my love. They are my adversaries, but
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I am in prayer. They have rewarded me evil for
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: good and hatred for my love. Set a wicked man
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: when he is judged. Let him come forth guilty, Let
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: his prayer be turned into sin. Let his days be few,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and his wife a widow. Let his children be wandering beggars.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Let them be sought from their ruins. Let the creditor
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of his labor. Let there be none to extend kindness
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to him, Neither, let there be any to have pity
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: on his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and the generation following. Let their name be blotted out
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Let them be before Yahweh continually that he may cut
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: off the memory of them from the earth. Because he
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: didn't remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them. Yes,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: he loved cursing, and it came to him. He did
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: He clothed himself also with cursing, as with his garment.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It came into his inward parts like water, like oil,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: into his bones. Let it be to him as the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is always around him. This is the reward of my
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But deal with me, Yahweh, the Lord for your name, So,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: because your loving kindness is good, deliver me. For I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: am poor and needy. My heart is wounded. Within me.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I will fade away like an evening shadow. I am
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: shaken off like a locust. My knees are weak through fasting.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: My body is thin and lacks fat. I have also
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: become a reproach to them. When they see me, they
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: shake their head. Help me, Yahweh, my God, save me
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: according to your loving kindness, that they may know that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: this is your hand, that you, Yahweh, have done it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: will be put to shame. But your servants shall rejoice.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor let them cover
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: themselves with their own shame as with a robe. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I will praise him among the multitude, for he will
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: stand at the right hand of the needy, to save
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: him from those who judge his soul.
