Psalms 109:9-20

9Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.

10Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.

11Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor.

12Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.

13Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15Let them be continually before the Lord, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

16Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart.

17As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.

18As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones.

19Let it be to him like the garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.

20Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person.
