Psalms 109:9-20
9May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.10May his children wander as beggars, seeking sustenance1 far from their ruined homes.11May the creditor seize all he owns, and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.12May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.13May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.15May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.
16For he never thought to show kindness,but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted,even to their death.17The cursing that he loved,may it fall on him;the blessing in which he refused to delight,may it be far from him.18The cursing that he wore like a coat,may it soak into his body like water,and into his bones like oil.19May it be like a robe wrapped about him,like a belt tied forever around him.20May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers,to those who speak evil against me.
