Psalm 109:6–19

⁶Appoint a wicked man over him,

And let an ^1aaccuser stand at his right hand.

⁷When he is judged, let him ^acome forth a wicked man,

And let his ^bprayer become sin.

⁸Let ^ahis days be few;

Let ^banother take his office.

⁹Let his ^asons be orphans

And his ^bwife a widow.

¹⁰Let his ^asons wander aimlessly and beg;

And let them ^bsearch for food ¹from their ruined homes.

¹¹Let ^athe creditor ¹seize all that he has,

And let ^bstrangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

¹²Let there be none to ^1aextend lovingkindness to him,

And ^blet there be none to be gracious to his orphans.

¹³Let those who ^afollow him be ¹cut off;

In a following generation let their ^bname be blotted out.

¹⁴Let ^athe iniquity of his fathers be remembered ¹before Yahweh,

And let not the sin of his mother be ^bblotted out.

¹⁵Let ^athem be before Yahweh continually,

That He may ^bcut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁶Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,

But persecuted the ^aafflicted, the needy man,

And the ^bdisheartened to ^cput them to death.

¹⁷He also loved cursing, so ^ait came to him;

And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

¹⁸But he ^aclothed himself with cursing as his garment,

And it ^bcame into his inward parts like water

And like oil into his bones.

¹⁹Let it be to him as ^aa garment with which he wraps himself,

And for a belt with which he constantly ^bgirds himself.
