No. 109 of the Psalms—King James Version (KJV)

  1. ¶ Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
  2. ¶ 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.
  3. ¶ They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
  4. ¶ For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
  5. ¶ And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
  6. ¶ Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
  7. ¶ When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
  8. ¶ Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
  9. ¶ Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
  10. ¶ Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
  11. ¶ Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
  12. ¶ Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
  13. ¶ Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
  14. ¶ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
  15. ¶ Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
  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. ¶ As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
  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. ¶ Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
  20. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
  21. ¶ But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
  22. ¶ For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
  23. ¶ I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
  24. ¶ My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
  25. ¶ I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
  26. ¶ Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
  27. ¶ That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
  28. ¶ Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
  29. ¶ Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
  30. ¶ I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
  31. ¶ For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
