Psalm 109:1-31 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O God, of My praise, [don't] hold Your peace; for the mouth of the wicked & the deceitful are opened against Me. They have spoken against Me with a lying tongue. [Matthew 26:59-62 Now, the chief priests, elders & all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to death; but found none. |
[Yes,] though many false witnesses came, yet they found none. At the last, 2 false witnesses came & said, This Fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God & to build it in three days. And the high priest arose & said to Him, [Do] You [answer] nothing? What is it [that] these [testify] against You?] |
* They also [surrounded around] Me with words of hatred & fought against Me without a cause. [*John 15:25 But this [happened, so] the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause. |
But when the Comforter [has] come, Whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, Who proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me. And also, you shall bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.] |
For My love, they are My adversaries: but I give Myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded Me evil for good & hatred for My love. [Matthew 12:13-15 And He said to the man, Stretch [out] your hand. And he stretched it [out] & it was restored whole, like the other. |
Then, the Pharisees went out & held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him. But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew Himself from [there] & great multitudes followed Him & He healed them all.] |
You [put] a wicked man over Him & let Satan stand at his right hand [side.] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned & let his prayer become sin. [Luke 22:2-6 And the chief priest & scribes sought how they might kill Him; for they feared the people. Then, Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the 12 [disciples.] |
And he went his way & [conferred] with the chief priests & captains, how he might betray [Jesus] to them. And they were glad & [agreed] to give him money. And he promised & sought [an] opportunity to betray Him to them, [when] the multitude [wasn't present.] |
Let his days be few & let another take his office. [Acts 1:17-20 For [Judas] was numbered with us & obtained part of this ministry. Now, this man purchased a field with the reward [for sin] & falling headlong, he burst [into pieces] in the midst & all his [guts] gushed out. |
And that field was known [to all who lived there in] Jerusalem & is called in their [own language,] Aceldama, that is to say, The Field of Blood. *For it is written in the Book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate & let no man [live in it] & let his another take his [office.] |
Let his children be fatherless & his wife a widow. Let his children be continually [wanderers] & beg. Let them also seek their bread [from] their [empty] places. Let the extortioner catch all that he has & let strangers spoil his labor. |
Let there be none to extend mercy to him & neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off & in the following generation, let their name be blotted out. Let the sin of his [forefathers] be remembered with the Lord & [don't] let the sin of his mother be blotted out. |
Let them be continually before the Lord, [so] that He may [destroy] the memory of them from the earth. Because he [who] remembered to not [show] mercy, but persecuted the poor & needy man, [so] that he might [destroy those] with a broken heart. |
[Like] he loved cursing, [also] let it [happen] to him. [Like] he delighted in not blessing, [also] let [blessings] be far from him. [Matthew 7:1-2 Judge not, [so] that you [aren’t] judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with what measure you [measure out,] It shall be measure to you again.] |
As he clothed himself with cursing, like with a garment, let it [also] come into his [inward parts,] like water & like oil into his bones. Let it be to him [like] the garment [that] covers him & for a [belt in which] he is continually [fastened.] |
Let this be the reward of [my enemies] from the Lord, [for those who] speak evil against my [life.] But O Lord God, do [this] for me, for Your Name's sake. Deliver me, because Your mercy is good. For I am poor & needy & my heart within me is wounded. |
I [have faded away] like the shadow when it declines. I am tossed [like] the locust, [that is moved from place to place.] My knees are weak through [hunger] & my flesh [has grown thin, without any fat.] I also became a [disgrace] to them: when they looked upon Me & they [shook] their heads. |
[Matthew 27:38-40 Then, there were 2 thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand & another on the left. And [those who] passed by [ridiculed] Him, wagging their heads & saying, You, [Who] destroys the temple & builds it in 3 days, save Yourself. If You [are] the Son of God, come down from the cross.] |
O Lord My God, help Me & save Me according to Your mercy: [so] that they may know that this is [by] Your hand. That You, Lord [have] done it. |
[Acts 2:22-23 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man among you, approved [by] God, as you, yourselves also know by miracles, wonders & signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you. Him being delivered by the [ultimate] counsel & [God's omniscient] foreknowledge, you, by wicked hands have taken, crucified & [killed] Him.] |
Let them curse, but You bless. Let them be ashamed when they arise; but let Your servant rejoice. Let [my enemies] be clothed with shame & let them cover themselves with their own confusion, [like] with a [cloak.] |
I will praise the Lord greatly with my mouth. [Yes,] I will praise Him among the [multitudes.] For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those [who] condemn his soul. |
