Psalm 109:6-20
New Living Translation
6 They say,[a] “Get an evil person to turn against him.
Send an accuser to bring him to trial.
7 When his case comes up for judgment,
let him be pronounced guilty.
Count his prayers as sins.
8 Let his years be few;
let someone else take his position.
9 May his children become fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children wander as beggars
and be driven from[b] their ruined homes.
11 May creditors seize his entire estate,
and strangers take all he has earned.
12 Let no one be kind to him;
let no one pity his fatherless children.
13 May all his offspring die.
May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.
14 May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers;
may his mother’s sins never be erased from the record.
15 May the Lord always remember these sins,
and may his name disappear from human memory.
16 For he refused all kindness to others;
he persecuted the poor and needy,
and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.
17 He loved to curse others;
now you curse him.
He never blessed others;
now don’t you bless him.
18 Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing,
or the water he drinks,
or the rich food he eats.
19 Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing;
may they be tied around him like a belt.”
20 May those curses become the Lord’s punishment
for my accusers who speak evil of me.
Psalm 109:6-20
New International Version
Psalm 109:6-20
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.

19 Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God. 20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
