Psalms 109:9-20

9May his childrenH1121 beH1961 fatherlessH3490 and his wifeH802 a widowH490.10May his childrenH1121 wanderH5128 as beggarsH7592, seeking sustenanceH1875 1 far from their ruined homesH2723.11May the creditorH5383 seizeH5367 allH3605 he owns, and strangersH2114 plunderH962 the fruits of his laborH3018.12May there beH1961 no oneH408 to extendH4900 kindnessH2617 to him, and no oneH408 to favorH2603 his fatherless childrenH3490.13May his descendantsH319 beH1961 cut offH3772; may their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229 from the nextH312 generationH1755.14May the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 beforeH413 the LORDH3068, and the sinH2403 of his motherH517 neverH408 be blotted outH4229.15May their sins alwaysH8548 remainH1961 beforeH5048 the LORDH3068, that He may cut offH3772 their memoryH2143 from the earthH776.

16ForH3282 he neverH3808 thoughtH2142 to showH6213 kindnessH2617,but pursuedH7291 H376 the poorH6041 and needyH34 andH3512 brokenheartedH3824,even to their deathH4191.17The cursingH7045 that he lovedH157,may it fall on himH935;the blessingH1293 in which he refusedH3808 to delightH2654,may it be farH7368 from himH4480.18The cursingH7045 that he woreH3847 like a coatH4055,may it soak intoH935 his bodyH7130 like waterH4325,and into his bonesH6106 like oilH8081.19May it beH1961 like a robeH899 wrapped about himH5844,like a beltH4206 tiedH2296 forever around himH8548.20May thisH2063 be the LORD’sH3068 rewardH6468 to my accusersH7853 H854,to those who speakH1696 evilH7451 againstH5921 meH5315.
