Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. God of my praise, do not be silent.
2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have opened against me; they have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3. Words of hatred have surrounded me, and they fought me without reason.
4. They resist me instead of my love, but I pray.
5. They have put evil on me instead of good, and hatred instead of my love.
6. Appoint a wicked man over him, and let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7. When he is judged, may he come forth guilty, and may his prayer become sin.
8. May his days be few; may another take his charge.
9. Let his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow.
10. Let his children wander continually as fugitives, begging and seeking from their ruins.
11. Let the extortioner ensnare all that he has, and let strangers plunder his labor.
12. May no one extend kindness to him, nor show pity to his orphans.
13. Let his posterity be cut off; in another generation let their name be blotted out.
14. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before Yahweh, and the sin of his mother not be blotted out.
15. Let them remain before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their remembrance from the earth.
16. Because he did not remember to extend kindness, but pursued the afflicted and needy man, the heartbroken, to put him to death.
17. He loved cursing, and it came to him; he took no delight in blessing, and it stayed far from him.
18. He clothed himself with a curse like his garment, and it entered his bowels like water, like oil into his bones.
19. Let it be to him like the garment he wraps himself in, and like the girdle he continually girds himself with.
20. This is the reward from Yahweh for my adversaries and those who speak evil against my soul.
21. But you, Yahweh my Lord, deal with me for your name's sake; because your mercy is good, deliver me.
22. For I am afflicted and needy—even I—and my heart is pierced within me.
23. I fade like a shadow stretched long; I am tossed like a locust.
24. My knees fail from fasting, and my flesh wastes away without fat.
25. I have become a reproach to them; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, Yahweh my God; save me according to your kindness.
27. Let them know that this is your hand—you, Yahweh, have done it.
28. They curse, but you bless. When they arise, they are ashamed, but your servant rejoices.
29. Let my adversaries clothe themselves with disgrace, and let them wrap their shame around them like a cloak.
30. I will praise Yahweh greatly with my mouth, and amid the multitude I will praise him.
31. For he stands at the right hand of the poor to save him from those who condemn his life.
