Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
    let an accuser(A) stand at his right hand.
When he is tried, let him be found guilty,(B)
    and may his prayers condemn(C) him.
May his days be few;(D)
    may another take his place(E) of leadership.
May his children be fatherless
    and his wife a widow.(F)
10 May his children be wandering beggars;(G)
    may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor(H) seize all he has;
    may strangers plunder(I) the fruits of his labor.(J)
12 May no one extend kindness to him
    or take pity(K) on his fatherless children.
