Psalm 109:6-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. Appoint a wicked man against him;let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7. When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;let his prayer be counted as sin!

8. May his days be few;may another take his office!

9. May his children be fatherlessand his wife a widow!

10. May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!

11. May the creditor seize all that he has;may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!

12. Let there be none to extend kindness to him,nor any to pity his fatherless children!

13. May his posterity be cut off;may his name be blotted out in the second generation!

14. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!

15. Let them be before the Lord continually,that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth!

16. For he did not remember to show kindness,but pursued the poor and needyand the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

17. He loved to curse; let curses come upon him!He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!
