My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
His memory shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
Yet he shall perish forever like his own refuse: they who have seen him shall say, Where is he?
My enemies reproach me all the day; and they that rail against me are sworn against me.
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and plan deceit all the day long.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O most High.
I will cry unto God most high; unto God who performs all things for me.
That your way may be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
