Psalm 109:8–20

⁸His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

⁹His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.

¹⁰And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

¹¹An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.

¹²He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.

¹³His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

¹⁴The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.

¹⁵They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

¹⁶Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart—to slay,

¹⁷And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

¹⁸And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

¹⁹It is to him as apparel—he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

²⁰This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
