God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 109

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
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 enemy over them: and let Satan stand at their right hand.
7. When they shall be judged, let them be condemned: and let their prayer become sin.
8. Let their days be few; and let another take their office.
9. Let their children be orphans, and their spouse a widow.
10. Let their children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11. Let the extortioner catch all that they have; and let the strangers spoil their labour.
12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto them: neither let there be any to favour their orphaned children.
13. Let their posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14. Let the iniquity of their ancestors be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of their parents be blotted out.
15. Let them be before the Lord continually, that They may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16. Because that they remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy, that they might even slay the broken in heart.
17. As they loved cursing, so let it come unto them: as they delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from them.
18. As they clothed themselves with cursing like as with their garment, so let it come into their bowels like water, and like oil into their bones.
19. Let it be unto them as the garment which covereth them, and for a girdle wherewith they are 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 Them among the multitude.
31. For They shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save them from those that condemn their soul.

RETURN EVIL TO THE ONE WHO HAS INJURED YOU - Write the name of the one who has harmed you on parchment paper. Encircle the name by copying around it, using the Dragon's Blood ink, one of the verses from this psalm. Select the appropriate verse to fit the crime done to you. For instance, if you have been unjustly condemned by this person, use Verse 7. If you have been treated unmercifully, use Verse 12. Should no verse fit the particular crime, Verse 6 can be used. Place the parchment in a saucer filled with Four Thieves Vinegar, writing facing downward. Leave it for a full week, and then bury the paper in a hole in the ground. - Power of the Psalms, by Anna Riva
