Psalm 109:9-20

English Standard Version

⁹May his ^(A)children be fatherless
    and his wife a widow!
¹⁰May his children ^(B)wander about and beg,
    ^(C)seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
¹¹May ^(D)the creditor seize all that he has;
    may ^(E)strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
¹²Let there be none to ^(F)extend kindness to him,
    nor any to ^(G)pity his fatherless children!
¹³May his ^(H)posterity be cut off;
    may his ^(I)name be blotted out in the second generation!
¹⁴May ^(J)the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
    and let not the sin of his mother be ^(K)blotted out!
¹⁵^(L)Let them be before the Lord continually,
    that he may ^(M)cut off the memory of them from the earth!

¹⁶For he did not remember to show kindness,
    but pursued ^(N)the poor and needy
    and ^(O)the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
¹⁷^(P)He loved to curse; let curses come^[a] upon him!
    He did not delight in blessing; may it be far^[b] from him!
¹⁸He ^(Q)clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
    may it ^(R)soak^[c] into his body like water,
    like oil into his bones!
¹⁹May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
    like a belt that he puts on every day!
²⁰May this be the reward of my ^(S)accusers from the Lord,
    of those who speak evil against my life!
