May his children be fatherless
    and his wife a widow.(A)
10 May his children be wandering beggars;(B)
    may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor(C) seize all he has;
    may strangers plunder(D) the fruits of his labor.(E)
12 May no one extend kindness to him
    or take pity(F) on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,(G)
    their names blotted out(H) from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers(I) be remembered before the Lord;
    may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before(J) the Lord,
    that he may blot out their name(K) from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
    but hounded to death the poor
    and the needy(L) and the brokenhearted.(M)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
    may it come back on him.(N)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
    may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(O) as his garment;
    it entered into his body like water,(P)
    into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(Q) about him,
    like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(R) to my accusers,
    to those who speak evil(S) of me.

21 But you, Sovereign Lord,
    help me for your name’s sake;(T)
    out of the goodness of your love,(U) deliver me.(V)
22 For I am poor and needy,
    and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow;(W)
    I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees give(X) way from fasting;(Y)
    my body is thin and gaunt.(Z)
25 I am an object of scorn(AA) to my accusers;
    when they see me, they shake their heads.(AB)

26 Help me,(AC) Lord my God;
    save me according to your unfailing love.
27 Let them know(AD) that it is your hand,
    that you, Lord, have done it.
28 While they curse,(AE) may you bless;
    may those who attack me be put to shame,
    but may your servant rejoice.(AF)
29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace
    and wrapped in shame(AG) as in a cloak.

30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord;
    in the great throng(AH) of worshipers I will praise him.
31 For he stands at the right hand(AI) of the needy,
    to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
