My enemiesspeakevilagainst me, "Whenwill he die,and his nameperish?"
"Memoryof him perishesfrom the earth,And he has nonameabroad.
He perishesforeverlike his refuse;Those who have seenhim will say,'Whereis he?'
My enemieshave reproachedme alldaylong; Those who derideme have usedmy [name] as a curse.
Those who seekmy lifelaysnares[for me]; And those who seekto injureme have threateneddestruction,And they devisetreacheryalldaylong.
For I knowmy transgressions,And my sinis everbeforeme.
Behold,You desiretruthin the innermostbeing,And in the hiddenpartYou will make me knowwisdom.
My foeshave trampledupon me alldaylong, For they are manywho fightproudlyagainst me.
I will cryto GodMostHigh,To Godwho accomplishes[all things] for me.
That Your waymay be knownon the earth,Your salvationamong allnations.
Turnto me, and be graciousto me; Oh grantYour strengthto Your servant,And savethe sonof Your handmaid.
Be graciousto me, O Lord,For to You I cryalldaylong.
The memoryof the righteousis blessed,But the nameof the wickedwill rot.
