Psalms 109:9-20

9Let his 1children be fatherless And his 2wife a widow.10Let his 3children wander about and beg; And let them 4seek sustenance 5far from their ruined homes.11Let 6the creditor 7seize all that he has, And let 8strangers plunder the product of his labor.12Let there be none to 9 10extend lovingkindness to him, Nor 11any to be gracious to his fatherless children.13Let his 12posterity be 13cut off; In a following generation let their 14name be blotted out.

14Let 15the iniquity of his fathers be remembered 16before the Lord, And do not let the sin of his mother be 17blotted out.15Let 18them be before the Lord continually, That He may 19cut off their memory from the earth;16Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the 20afflicted and needy man, And the 21despondent in heart, to 22put them to death.17He also loved cursing, so 23it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.18But he 24clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it 25entered into 26his body like water And like oil into his bones.19Let it be to him as 27a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly 28girds himself.20 29Let this be the 30reward of my accusers from the Lord, And of those who 31speak evil against my soul.
