Psalm 109:26-31 Part 1 of 2

Help me, O LORD my God!

    Save me because of your unfailing love.

Let them see that this is your doing,

    that you yourself have done it, LORD.

Then let them curse me if they like,

    but you will bless me!

When they attack me, they will be disgraced!

    But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!

May my accusers be clothed with disgrace;

    may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.

But I will give repeated thanks to the LORD,

    praising him to everyone.

For he stands beside the needy,

    ready to save them from those who condemn them. 

 

Help me, O LORD my God! Save me because of your unfailing love.

All your commands are trustworthy.

    Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause.  

    (see verses 81-88)

 

Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, LORD.

Then let them curse me if they like, but you will bless me! When they attack me, they will be disgraced! But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing! 

2 Samuel 16:11-12  Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn't this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so?
