Psalms 109:6-16

6Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin!

8May his days be few; may another take his office!

9May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow!

10May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!

11May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!

12Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children!

13May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!

14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!

15Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth!

16For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
