Psalms 109:9-20
9Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490.
10Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128 vagabondsH5128, and begH7592: let them seekH1875 their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723.
11Let the extortionerH5383 catchH5367 all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114 spoilH962 his labourH3018.
12Let there be none to extendH4900 mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603 his fatherless childrenH3490.
13Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.
14Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with YhwhH3068; and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted outH4229.
15Let them be before YhwhH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772 the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.
16Because that he rememberedH2142 not to shewH6213 mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291 the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191 the brokenH3512 in heartH3824.
17As he lovedH157 cursingH7045, so let it comeH935 unto him: as he delightedH2654 not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from him.
18As he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935 into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106.1
19Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844 him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.
20Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853 from YhwhH3068, and of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.
