Psalms 109:9-20

9Let his children beH1961 fatherlessH3490,And his wifeH802 a widowH490.10Let his children be vagabonds, and beg;And let them seekH1875 their bread out of their desolate placesH2723.11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;And let strangersH2114 make spoilH962 of his labor.12Let there beH1961 none to extend kindness unto him;Neither let there beH1961 any to have pity on his fatherlessH3490 children.13Let his posterityH319 beH1961 cutH3772 off;In the generationH1755 following let their nameH8034 beH1961 blotted out.14Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with Jehovah;And let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted out.15Let them beH1961 before Jehovah continuallyH8548,That he may cutH3772 off the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776;16Because he rememberedH2142 not to show kindness,But persecuted the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376,And the broken in heartH3824, to slay them.17Yea, he lovedH157 cursingH7045, and it cameH935 unto him;And he delighted not in blessingH1293, and it was farH7368 from him.18He clothedH3847 himself also with cursingH7045 as with his garmentH4055,And it cameH935 into his inwardH7130 parts like waterH4325,And like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106.19Let it beH1961 unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself,And for the girdle wherewith he isH1961 girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.20This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah,And of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.
