Psalms 109:8-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

11. Let the creditor seize all that is his, and let strangers plunder his property.

12. Let there be none who extend to him loyal love, nor any who pities his orphans.

13. Let his descendants be cut off. Let their name be blotted out in the next generation.

14. Let the iniquity of his ancestors be remembered before Yahweh, and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.

15. Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth,

16. because he did not remember to show loyal love, but he pursued anyone, poor or needy or brokenhearted, to slay them.

17. Because he loved cursing, let it come upon him. Because he did not delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

18. Because he wore a curse as his robe, let it enter his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

19. May it be for him like a garment in which he wraps, and a belt he continually wears.
