¹⁵ Let death seize them;
Let them ^(A)go down alive into ^[a]hell,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.

^(C)‘Let his dwelling place be ^[c]desolate,
And let no one live in it’;

^(D)‘Let another take his ^[d]office.’

⁷ But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.

⁶ Set a wicked man over him,
And let ^(A)an ^[a]accuser stand at his right hand.
⁷ When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
And ^(B)let his prayer become sin.
⁸ Let his days be ^(C)few,
And ^(D)let another take his office.
^9 (E)Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
¹⁰ Let his children ^[b]continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them ^[c]seek their bread also from their desolate places.
^11 (F)Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor.
¹² Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
^13 (G)Let his ^[d]posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their ^(H)name be blotted out.

^14 (I)Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
And let not the sin of his mother ^(J)be blotted out.
¹⁵ Let them be continually before the Lord,
That He may ^(K)cut off the memory of them from the earth;
¹⁶ Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the ^(L)broken in heart.
^17 (M)As he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
¹⁸ As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it ^(N)enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
¹⁹ Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
²⁰ Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the ^[a]nations ^(A)that forget God.
