Psalm 109:8–20

⁸Let his days be few;

let another take his office.

⁹Let his children be orphans,

and his wife a widow,

¹⁰and let his children wander aimlessly and beg,

and let them plead from their ruins.

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that is his,

and let strangers plunder his property.

¹²Let there be none who extend to him loyal love,

nor any who pities his orphans.

¹³Let his descendants^e be cut off.

Let their name be blotted out in the next generation.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his ancestors^f be remembered before Yahweh,

and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.

¹⁵Let them be before Yahweh continually,

that he may cut off their^g memory from the earth,

¹⁶because he did not remember to show loyal love,

but he pursued anyone,^h poor or needy

or brokenhearted, to slay them.

¹⁷Because he loved cursing, let it come upon him.

Because he did not delight in blessing,

let it be far from him.

¹⁸Because he wore a curse as his robe,

let it enter his bodyⁱ like water,

and into his bones like oil.

¹⁹May it be for him like a garment in which he wraps,

and a belt he continually wears.^j

²⁰Let this be the punishment for my accusers from Yahweh,

even those who speak evil against my life.
