Psalm 109:12-19
English Standard Version
12 Let there be none to (A)extend kindness to him,
nor any to (B)pity his fatherless children!
13 May his (C)posterity be cut off;
may his (D)name be blotted out in the second generation!
14 May (E)the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be (F)blotted out!
15 (G)Let them be before the Lord continually,
that he may (H)cut off the memory of them from the earth!
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued (I)the poor and needy
and (J)the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 (K)He loved to curse; let curses come[a] upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[b] from him!
18 He (L)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it (M)soak[c] into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
