Psalm 109:6-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 They say,[a] “Appoint a wicked man against him;
let an accuser stand on his right.(A)
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty;
let his prayer be counted as sin.(B)
8 May his days be few;
may another seize his position.(C)
9 May his children be orphans
and his wife a widow.(D)
10 May his children wander about and beg;
may they be driven out of[b] the ruins they inhabit.
11 May the creditor seize all that he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil.(E)
12 May there be no one to do him a kindness
nor anyone to pity his orphaned children.(F)
13 May his posterity be cut off;
may his name be blotted out in the second generation.(G)
14 May the iniquity of his father[c] be remembered before the Lord,
and do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.(H)
15 Let them be before the Lord continually,
and may his[d] memory be cut off from the earth.(I)
16 For he did not remember to show kindness
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted to their death.(J)
17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him.
He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.(K)
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it soak into his body like water,
like oil into his bones.(L)
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around himself,
like a belt that he wears every day.”
20 May that be the reward of my accusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life.(M)
21 But you, O Lord my Lord,
act on my behalf for your name’s sake;
because your steadfast love is good, deliver me.(N)
Psalm 109:6-21
New International Version
Psalm 109:6-21
New International Version
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser(A) stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,(B)
and may his prayers condemn(C) him.
8 May his days be few;(D)
may another take his place(E) of leadership.
9 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.
13 May his descendants be cut off,(L)
their names blotted out(M) from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers(N) be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before(O) the Lord,
that he may blot out their name(P) from the earth.
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy(Q) and the brokenhearted.(R)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.(S)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(T) as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,(U)
into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(V) about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(W) to my accusers,
to those who speak evil(X) of me.

22 Let their table be a trap for them,

and let your burning anger overtake them.(C)
