Psalms 109:9-20

9May his 1children be fatherless, And his 2wife a widow.10May his 3children wander about and beg; And may they 4seek sustenance 5far from their ruined homes.11May 6the creditor 7seize everything that he has, And may 8strangers plunder the product of his labor.12May there be none to 9 10extend kindness to him, Nor 11any to be gracious to his fatherless children.13May his 12descendants be 13eliminated; May their 14name be wiped out in a following generation.

14May 15the guilt of his fathers be remembered 16before the Lord, And do not let the sin of his mother be 17wiped out.15May 18they be before the Lord continually, So that He may 19eliminate their memory from the earth;16Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the 20afflicted and needy person, 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 26his body like water, And like oil into his bones.19May it be to him as 27a garment with which he covers himself, And as a belt which he constantly 28wears around himself.20May this be the 29reward of my accusers from the Lord, And of those who 30speak evil against my soul.
