Mine enemies speak evil against me, {\i saying},\par\tab When will he die, and his name perish?
The memory of the righteous is blessed;\par\tab But the name of the wicked shall rot.
Mine enemies reproach me all the day;\par\tab They that are mad against me do curse by me.
They also that seek after my life lay snares {\i for me};\par\tab And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,\par\tab And meditate deceits all the day long.
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung:\par\tab They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?
His remembrance shall perish from the earth,\par\tab And he shall have no name in the street.
For I know my transgressions;\par\tab And my sin is ever before me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;\par\tab And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long;\par\tab For they are many that fight proudly against me.
I will cry unto God Most High,\par\tab Unto God that performeth {\i all things} for me.
That thy way may be known upon earth,\par\tab Thy salvation among all nations.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord;\par\tab For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;\par\tab Give thy strength unto thy servant,\par\tab And save the son of thy handmaid.
