5 Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens and thy glory above all the earth.

against me with false tongues: they compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a

cause.

3 For the love that I had unto them, lo, they take now my contrary part: but I give myself unto prayer.

4 Thus have they rewarded me evil for good: and hatred for my good will.

5 Set thou an ungodly man to be ruler over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

6 When sentence is given upon him, let him be condemned and let his prayer be turned into sin.

7 Let his days be few and let another take his office.

8 Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

9 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg their bread : let them seek it also out of desolate places.

10 Let the extortioner consume all that he hath and let the stranger spoil his fabour.

11 Let there be no man to pity him nor to have compassion upon his fatherless children.

17 He clothed himself with cursing, like as with a raiment and it shall come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

18 Let it be unto him as the cloke that he hath upon him and as the girdle that he is alway girded withal.

19 Let it thus happen from the Lord unto mine enemies and to those that speak evil against my soul.

20 But deal thou with me, O Lord God, according unto thy Name for sweet is thy mercy.

6 He taketh up the simple out of the dust and lifteth the poor out of the mire;

7 That he may set him with the princes: even with the princes of his people.

8 He maketh the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of chil dren.
