Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am invited unto her also with the king.

Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak you unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go you in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

Let the royal robes be brought which the king has worn, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the royal crown which is set upon his head:

And let the robes and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man with whom the king delights to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.

Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces:

Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male child conceived.

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come into it.

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to arouse leviathan.

Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

Then should I still have comfort; yea, I would exult myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

Return, I pray you, let it not be injustice; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.

I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

How long will you not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

If iniquity be in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tents.

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid.

Then call, and I will answer: or let me speak, and you answer me.

That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?

Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for futility shall be his reward.

O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry have no place.

Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolation.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.

Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.

Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

Then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.

Then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from its socket.

Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattery unto man.

Let us choose for us justice: let us know among ourselves what is good.

Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

Who has let the wild donkey go free? or who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey?

Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.

Can you draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

Destroy them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.

But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.

Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tests the minds and hearts.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in your sight.

The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Let my vindication come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are right.

The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

He trusted in the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.

Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; who speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Let your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in you.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Judge me, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

Withhold not your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your lovingkindness and your truth continually preserve me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments.

Let death seize upon them, and let them go down alive into the grave: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your glory be above all the earth.

Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

As a snail who melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

The God of my mercy shall meet me: God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for the cursing and lying which they speak.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Let them wander up and down for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

He rules by his power forever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for you shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm or Song of David.] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
