Bible Reading for May 17

Psalms 109
[1] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; [2] For the mouth of the wicked
and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken
against me with a lying tongue. [3] They compassed me about also with words
of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
[4] For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. [5]
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. [6] Set
thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. [7] When
he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
[8] Let his days be few; and let another take his office. [9] Let his
children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. [10] Let his children be
continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their
desolate places. [11] Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let
the strangers spoil his labour.
[12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any
to favour his fatherless children.
[13] Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let
their name be blotted out.
[14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let
not the sin of his mother be blotted out. [15] Let them be before the LORD
continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
[16] Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor
and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. [17] As he
loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so
let it be far from him. [18] As he clothed himself with cursing like as
with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil
into his bones. [19] Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him,
and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. [20] Let this be the
reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil
against my soul.
[21] But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy
mercy is good, deliver thou me.
[22] For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am
gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the
locust.
[24] My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
[25] I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they
shaked their heads.
[26] Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: [27] That
they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
[28] Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed;
but let thy servant rejoice.
[29] Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. [30] I will greatly
praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
[31] For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from
those that condemn his soul.

Psalms 110
[1] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make
thine enemies thy footstool.
[2] The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in
the midst of thine enemies.
[3] Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of
holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. [4]
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after
the order of Melchizedek.
[5] The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
[6] He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the
dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. [7] He shall
drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

Psalms 111
[1] Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the
assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. [2] The works of the LORD
are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
[3] His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
[4] He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious
and full of compassion.
[5] He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of
his covenant.
[6] He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them
the heritage of the heathen.
[7] The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
[8] They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
[9] He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for
ever: holy and reverend is his name. [10] The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his
commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
