1 The `title of the hundrid and nynthe salm. `The salm of Dauith. The Lord seide to my Lord; Sitte thou on my riyt side. Til Y putte thin enemyes; a stool of thi feet.

2 The Lord schal sende out fro Syon the yerde of thi vertu; be thou lord in the myddis of thin enemyes.

3 The bigynnyng is with thee in the dai of thi vertu, in the briytnessis of seyntis; Y gendride thee of the wombe before the dai sterre.

4 The Lord swoor, and it schal not repente him; Thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech.

5 The Lord on thi riyt side; hath broke kyngis in the dai of his veniaunce.

6 He schal deme among naciouns, he schal fille fallyngis; he schal schake heedis in the lond of many men.

7 He dranke of the stronde in the weie; therfor he enhaunside the heed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 109 about?
It's an imprecatory psalm asking God to judge a lying, hateful adversary who repaid David's love with evil (vv.1-5), pronouncing a long series of curses on that enemy before turning to prayer for his own deliverance (vv.21-31).
What curses does David pronounce on his enemy?
Verses 8-15 include "let his days be few," "let his children be fatherless," and "let his posterity be cut off," asking that the man's family and legacy be wiped out.
How does the tone shift toward the end of the psalm?
From v.21 David turns from cursing to describing his own weak state ("my knees are weak through fasting," v.24) and pleading for God's mercy, ending in a vow to praise him publicly. See also Psalms 108.
