Psalms 109:2-14 English Revised Version (ERV)

2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: they have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.

3. They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

4. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

5. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let an adversary stand at his right hand.

7. When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; and let his prayer be turned into sin.

8. Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

9. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10. Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.

11. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.

12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him; neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.

13. Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
