Psalm 109:8–20

⁸Let ^ahis days be few;

Let ^banother take his office.

⁹Let his ^achildren be fatherless

And his ^bwife a widow.

¹⁰Let his ^achildren wander about and beg;

And let them ^bseek sustenance ¹far from their ruined homes.

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

And let ^bstrangers plunder the product of his labor.

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

Nor ^bany to be gracious to his fatherless children.

¹³Let his ^aposterity be ¹cut off;

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

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

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

¹⁵Let ^athem be before the Lord continually,

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

¹⁶Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,

But persecuted the ^aafflicted and needy man,

And the ^bdespondent in heart, 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 with his garment,

And it ^bentered into ¹his body like water

And like oil into his bones.

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

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

²⁰¹Let this be the ^areward of my accusers from the Lord,

And of those who ^bspeak evil against my soul.
