My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die, and his name perish?”
The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse.
Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.
he will perish forever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”
