King James Version
AFR DVK
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.
Want die mond van die goddelose en die mond van die bedrieglike is teen my oopgemaak: hulle het teen my met ‚'n leuende tong gespreek.
3
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
Hulle het my ook met woorde van haat omsingel; en teen my geveg sonder ‚'n oorsaak.
4
For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto] prayer.
Vir my liefde is hulle my teëstanders: maar ek gee myself tot gebed.
5
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
En hulle het my kwaad vir goed vergoed, en haat vir my liefde.
6
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Sit ‚'n goddelose man oor hom: en laat die Satan aan sy regterhand staan.
7
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Wanneer hy geoordeel word, laat hom veroordeel word: en laat sy gebed sonde word.
8
Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
Laat sy dae min wees; en laat ‚'n ander sy amp neem.
9
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Laat sy kinders wees wees, en sy vrou ‚'n weduwee.
10
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
Laat sy kinders voortdurend rondswerf, en bedel: laat hulle ook hulle brood soek uit hulle verwoeste plekke.
11
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
Laat die skuldeiser al wat hy het, vang; en laat die vreemdelinge sy arbeid roof.
12
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Laat daar niemand wees om barmhartigheid aan hom te bewys nie: en laat daar niemand wees om guns aan sy weeskinders te bewys nie.
13
Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Laat sy nageslag afgesny word; en in die geslag wat volg laat hulle naam uitgewis word.
14
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Laat die ongeregtigheid van sy vaders by die HERE onthou word; en laat nie die sonde van sy moeder uitgewis word nie.
15
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Laat hulle voortdurend voor die HERE wees, dat Hy hulle nagedagtenis van die aarde mag afsny.
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.
Omdat hy nie onthou het om barmhartigheid te bewys nie, maar die arme en behoeftige man vervolg het, dat hy selfs die gebroke van hart mag doodmaak.
17
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
Soos hy die vervloeking liefgehad het, so laat dit op hom kom: soos hy nie behae in seën gehad het nie, so laat dit ver van hom wees.
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.
Soos hy homself met vervloeking soos met ‚'n kleed beklee het, so laat dit in sy ingewande soos water inkom, en soos olie in sy bene.
19
Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
Laat dit vir hom wees soos die kleed waarmee hy homself bedek, en vir ‚'n gordel waarmee hy voortdurend omgord is.
20
[Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
Dit sal die beloning van my teëstanders van die HERE wees, en van dié wat kwaad teen my siel spreek.
21
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
Maar doen U vir my, o GOD die Here, om u Naam se ontwil: omdat u barmhartigheid goed is, verlos my.
22
For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
Want ek is arm en behoeftig, en my hart is verwond binne-in my.
23
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
Ek is soos die skaduwee wanneer dit afneem, weggegaan: ek is soos die sprinkaan opgeskud.
24
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
My knieë is swak deur vas; en my vlees faal van vet.
25
I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
Ek het ook ‚'n smaad vir hulle geword: toe hulle na my gekyk het, het hulle hulle hoofde geskud.
26
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
Help my, o HERE my God: o red my volgens u barmhartigheid:
27
That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it.
Dat hulle mag weet dat dit u hand is; dat U, HERE, dit gedoen het.
28
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
Laat hulle vervloek, maar seën U: wanneer hulle opstaan, laat hulle beskaamd word; maar laat u dienaar juig.
29
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
Laat my teëstanders met skaamte beklee word, en laat hulle hulleself met hulle eie verwarring soos met ’n mantel bedek.
30
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
Ek sal die HERE grootliks met my mond prys; ja, ek sal Hom onder die menigte prys.
31
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.
Want Hy sal aan die regterhand van die arme staan, om hom te red van dié wat sy siel veroordeel.
