Psalms 109:6-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. "Appoint a wicked person to be against this person," they say,"an accuser to stand right next to him.

7. When the sentence is passed, let him be found guilty—let his prayer be found sinful!

8. Let his days be few;let someone else assume his position.

9. Let his children become orphans;let his wife turn into a widow.

10. Let his children wander aimlessly, begging,driven out of their ruined homes.

11. Let a creditor seize everything he owns;let strangers plunder his wealth.
