International Children’s Bible

Psalms 109:5-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. I was good to them, but they repay me with evil.I loved them, but they hate me in return.

6. They say about me, “Have the Evil One work against him.Let the devil accuse him.

7. When he is judged, let him be found guilty.Let even his prayers show that he is guilty.

8. Let his life be cut short.Let another man replace him as leader.

9. Let his children become orphans.Let his wife become a widow.

10. Make his children wander around, begging for food.Let them be forced out of the ruins they live in.

11. Let the people he owes money to take everything he owns.Let strangers steal everything he has worked for.

12. Let no one show him love.Let no one have mercy on his children.

13. Let all his descendants die.Let him be forgotten by people who live after him.

14. Let the Lord remember how wicked his ancestors were.Don’t let the sins of his mother be wiped out.
