Psalms 109:2-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

2. for wicked and deceitful mouths have opened against me. They speak to me with a lying tongue.

3. They also surround me with words of hate, and fight me without cause.

4. In return for my love they accuse me, though I am in prayer.

5. So they inflicted evil against me in return for good and hatred in return for my love.

6. Appoint over him a wicked man, and let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7. When he is judged, let him come out guilty, and let his prayer become as sin.

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

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

10. and let his children wander aimlessly and beg, and let them plead from their ruins.
