Tehillim 109:3-19 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. They surrounded me also with divrei sinah (words of hatred); and attacked me without cause.

4. In return for my ahavah they are my adversaries; but I give myself unto tefillah (prayer).

5. Thus they have laid upon me ra'ah for tovah, and sinah for my ahavah.

6. Set Thou a rasha (wicked man) over him; and let Satan (the Accuser) stand at his yamin (right hand).

7. When he shall be tried, let him be in the judgment condemned; and let his tefillah (prayer) become sin.

8. Let his yamim be few; and let another take his pekuddat [See Ac 1:20 OJBC].

9. Let his banim be yetomim, and his isha an almanah.

10. Let his banim be continually vagabonds, and beg; let them seek from their ruins.

11. Let the nosheh (creditor) seize all that he hath; and let the zarim (strangers) plunder his labor.

12. Let there be none to extend chesed unto him; neither let there be any to favor his yetomim.

13. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the dor acher (generation following) let their shem be blotted out.

14. Let the avon of his avot be remembered before Hashem; and let not the chattat immo be blotted out.

15. Let them be before Hashem tamid, that He may cut off the memory of them from ha'aretz.

16. Because he remembered not to show chesed, but persecuted the ish oni and the evyon, that he might even slay the nikheh levav (brokenhearted person).

17. As he loved kelalah (cursing), so it came on him; as he delighted not in berakhah (blessing), so it was far from him.

18. As he clothed himself with kelalah as with his garment, so let it come into his inward parts like mayim, and like shemen into his atzmot.

19. Let it be unto him like a beged which covereth him, and for a belt wherewith he is girded tamid (continually).
