Those who hate me only say evil things about me. “When is he going to die, and people forget all about him?” they ask.
the memory of them fades from the earth; nobody remembers their names any more.
they will vanish forever like their own excrement. People who knew them will ask, ‘Where have they gone?’
My enemies taunt me all day long. They mock me and swear at me.
Those who are trying to kill me set traps for me; those who want to hurt me make threats against me, working on their deceitful schemes all day long.
I admit my rebellion; my sin always stares me in my face.
But you want truth on the inside; you teach me wisdom deep within.
My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.
I cry out for help to God Most High, to God who vindicates me.
May everyone on earth come to know your ways, your salvation among all people.
Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
The good are remembered as a blessing, but the reputation of the wicked will rot.
