1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. Hush not, O Elohim of my halal;
2 for the mouth of wickedness and the mouth of deceit open against me: they word against me with a false tongue;
3 they surround me with words of hatred; and fight against me gratuitously:
4 instead of my love, they are my satans; but I - prayer:
5 and against me, they set evil for good and hatred for my love.
6 Set the wicked over him; and stand Satan at his right:
7 in judging, judge him with the wicked; and that his prayer become sin
8 and his days become few and another take his oversight:
9 and his sons become orphans and his woman a widow:
10 in wandering, that his sons wander; yes, ask; and seek from their parched areas.
11 The exactor snares all he has and the strangers plunder his labor;
12 neither is there any to draw out mercy to him nor any to grant charism to his orphans:
13 his posterity becomes cut off; and in another generation their name is wiped out:
14 the perversity of his fathers is remembered to Yah Veh; and the sin of his mother is not wiped out;
15 they become in front of Yah Veh continually to cut off their memorial from the earth:
16 because he remembered not to work mercy and pursued the humble and needy man to deathify the dejected in heart.
17 As he loves to abase, thus it approaches him; as he delights not in blessing, so be it far from him:
18 he enrobes abasing as tailoring, thus it enters his inwards as water - as ointment into his bones:
19 so be it as the clothes that cover him and for a girdle to continually gird:
20 this is for the deeds of my satans from Yah Veh and for them who word evil against my soul.
21 But work for me, O Yah Veh Adonay, for sake of your name; because your mercy is good, rescue me.
22 For I am humble and needy and my heart pierces within me
23 - gone - spread as the shadow - shaken as the locust:
24 my knees falter through fasting; my flesh emaciates of ointment;
25 I - I am a reproach to them; they see me; they shake their heads.
26 Help me, O Yah Veh my Elohim; O save me according to your mercy;
27 so that they know this is your hand; that you, O Yah Veh, worked it.
28 They abase and you bless; they rise and shame: and your servant cheers.
29 My satans enrobe with shame - cover themselves with their own shame as with a mantle.
30 I mightily halal Yah Veh with my mouth; yes, I spread hands to him among the great:
31 for he stands at the right of the needy to save him from those who judge his soul.
