Psalm 109:9-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Let his (A)children be fatherless
And his (B)wife a widow.
10 Let his (C)children wander about and beg;
And let them (D)seek sustenance [a]far from their ruined homes.
11 Let (E)the creditor [b]seize all that he has,
And let (F)strangers plunder the product of his labor.
12 Let there be none to [c](G)extend lovingkindness to him,
Nor (H)any to be gracious to his fatherless children.
13 Let his (I)posterity be [d]cut off;
In a following generation let their (J)name be blotted out.
14 Let (K)the iniquity of his fathers be remembered [e]before the Lord,
And do not let the sin of his mother be (L)blotted out.
15 Let (M)them be before the Lord continually,
That He may (N)cut off their memory from the earth;
16 Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,
But persecuted the (O)afflicted and needy man,
And the (P)despondent in heart, to (Q)put them to death.
17 He also loved cursing, so (R)it came to him;
And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
18 But he (S)clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it (T)entered into [f]his body like water
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him as (U)a garment with which he covers himself,
And for a belt with which he constantly (V)girds himself.
20 [g]Let this be the (W)reward of my accusers from the Lord,
And of those who (X)speak evil against my soul.
