Psalms Chapter 109
Ayo, God, don’t hold back, 'cause I’m out here shouting your praises, for real;
[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
The haters and the fakes are on my case, spreading mad rumors, no cap.
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. {of the deceitful: Heb. of deceit} {are opened: Heb. have opened themselves}
They’re throwing mad shade my way, attacking me for no reason, sus.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
They’re my foes just 'cause I love deep, but I’ll just pray it out, periodt.
For my love they are my adversaries: but I {give myself unto} prayer.
They’re giving me bad vibes for my solid moves and hating on my love, savage.
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Put a wicked dude in charge of him, and let Satan kick it on his right side, bet.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. {Satan: or, an adversary}
When he faces judgment, may he get wrecked, and let his prayers just crash.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. {be condemned: Heb. go out guilty, or, wicked}
Make his days numbered, and let someone else take his place, lit.
Let his days be few; {and} let another take his office. {office: or, charge}
Let his kids grow up without a dad, and his wife be solo, fr.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his kids be out here struggling, begging for crumbs from empty plates, bussin.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek {their bread} also out of their desolate places.
Let the scammer take all his stuff; and let outsiders mess with his hustle.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
No mercy for him, fam: and don’t let anyone vibe with his fatherless kids.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Cut off his legacy; and in the next gen, let their name just vanish.
Let his posterity be cut off; {and} in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the sins of his squad be known to God; and don’t let his mom’s wrongs fade away.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Keep them in front of the Lord forever, so He can erase their memory from the earth.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
'Cause he didn’t show mercy and went after the needy, trying to hurt the broken-hearted.
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
He loved to throw shade, so let it come back to him; he ain’t about those blessings, so keep those away.
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
He wrapped himself in curses like a fit, so let it sink into him like water and oil in his bones.
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. {into his bowels: Heb. within him}
Let it be like the fit that covers him, and like a belt he wears every day.
Let it be unto him as the garment {which} covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
Let this be the karma for my haters from the Lord, and for those who talk smack about my soul.
{Let} this {be} the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
Ayo, God, do your thing for me, for your name’s vibe: your mercy is fire, so save me, fr.
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy {is} good, deliver thou me.
I’m struggling and in need, and my heart’s feeling all sorts of pain.
For I {am} poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
I’m like a shadow fading away: just tossed about like a locust, no cap.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
My knees are weak from fasting; I’m looking skinny out here, for real.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
I became a whole meme to them: they see me and just shake their heads, savage.
I became also a reproach unto them: {when} they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
Help me out, Lord my God: save me 'cause your mercy is lit.
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
So they know this is your move; you, Lord, made it happen, periodt.
That they may know that this {is} thy hand; {that} thou, LORD, hast done it.
Let them throw shade, but you bless me: when they come at me, let them feel the shame; let your boy vibe with joy.
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
Let my haters be wrapped in shame, covering themselves with their own mess, like a cloak.
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
I’m gonna hype up the Lord with my words; yeah, I’ll praise him in front of the crew.
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
He’s out here chillin’ on the right side of the broke, ready to save them from the haters tryna drag them down.
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save {him} from those that condemn his soul. {those...: Heb. the judges of}
