TranslationPsalm 108They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues GOD do not nothing about/ MY PRAISE: because the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful man:/ is opened against me./ They have spoken against/ me with deceitful tongues:/ they have surrounded/ me with words of hatred: and they have conquered me without cause./ Instead of loving me they disparaged me:/ but I prayed./ And they set against me evil for good:/ and hatred for my love./ Appoint a sinner over him:/ and may the devil stand at his right hand./ When he is judged let him come out condemned:/ and may his prayer be turned to sin./ May his days be few:/ and let another take his bishopric./ May his children be orphans: and his wife a widow./ |
