## Psalms 109:9-31 in Context (Verses 6–31 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/psalms/109/6) Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/psalms/109/7) When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/109/8) Let his days be few; *and* let another take his office.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/109/9) Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/109/10) Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek *their bread* also out of their desolate places.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/109/11) Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/109/12) Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/109/13) Let his posterity be cut off; *and* in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/109/14) Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/109/15) Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/109/16) Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/109/17) As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/109/18) As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/109/19) Let it be unto him as the garment *which* covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/109/20) *Let* this *be* the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/109/21) But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy *is* good, deliver thou me.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/psalms/109/22) For I *am* poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/psalms/109/23) I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/psalms/109/24) My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/psalms/109/25) I became also a reproach unto them: *when* they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/psalms/109/26) Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
 
 [27 ](/kjv/psalms/109/27) That they may know that this *is* thy hand; *that* thou, LORD, hast done it.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/psalms/109/28) Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/psalms/109/29) Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/psalms/109/30) I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/psalms/109/31) For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save *him* from those that condemn his soul.*
