Psalms 109:6-20

6Appoint a wicked person over him, And may an 1 2accuser stand at his right hand.7When he is judged, may he 3come out guilty, And may his 4prayer become sin.8May 5his days be few; May 6another take his office.9May his 7children be fatherless, And his 8wife a widow.10May his 9children wander about and beg; And may they 10seek sustenance 11far from their ruined homes.11May 12the creditor 13seize everything that he has, And may 14strangers plunder the product of his labor.12May there be none to 15 16extend kindness to him, Nor 17any to be gracious to his fatherless children.13May his 18descendants be 19eliminated; May their 20name be wiped out in a following generation.

14May 21the guilt of his fathers be remembered 22before the Lord, And do not let the sin of his mother be 23wiped out.15May 24they be before the Lord continually, So that He may 25eliminate their memory from the earth;16Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the 26afflicted and needy person, And the 27despondent in heart, to 28put them to death.17He also loved cursing, so 29it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.18But he 30clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it 31entered 32his body like water, And like oil into his bones.19May it be to him as 33a garment with which he covers himself, And as a belt which he constantly 34wears around himself.20May this be the 35reward of my accusers from the Lord, And of those who 36speak evil against my soul.
