The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 109



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 likeoil into his bones.

19: Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdlewherewith 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.
